Tip:
G3739 has a stop at Guilin North Railway Station, too. Guilin Station is closer to city center while Guilin North Station has more high speed trains to/from other cities. If you are staying in downtown, Guilin Station is recommended; if you are transferring from/ to other bullet trains, Guilin North Station would be more preferred.

If you are very tight in schedule and even the high speed ride cannot meet your needs, you may choose flight instead. There are around 6 pairs of flights a day and they only take around 2 hours. Although the flight ticket price is much higher, during off-season there can be good discount offered by the airline and the flight ticket price will be competitive. Travelers can check both flight and rail service by date for a better arrangement.
