 Generally, passengers are not advised to take the normal K or T trains because they cost too much time and are not comfortable enough for a so long journey. High speed train is fine, but there is only one for each direction.

Flight for this trip is highly recommended. Between the two cities, there are over ten pairs of flights every day from early morning to late night. Only considering time, flight is a better choice. Normally, passengers can get around 55% off discount. In this case, it is just about CNY 860 (USD 139) per ticket and takes around 2 hours and 45mins.
