A sleeper is highly recommended for this journey and sleeper tickets should be purchased as early as possible.

 Direct flights between the two cities take about 2 hours for a single journey. When a discount is offered by the airlines, ticket fare for an economy class seat can be low to CNY 300 or so. In this case, flights can be a quite competitive choice. If count in the travel time to/from the airport and time for boarding, total consumed time of flight has no much difference from bullet trains. Normal trains, especially overnight sleeper trains are preferable options for budget travelers.
