 Traveling for such a long-distance journey may be boring and tiring. In order to have a more comfortable trip, passengers are advised to choose the overnight sleeper trains such as high speed D178 and normal speed K692 and K771, which depart in the evening and arrive in the next morning. In this case, one-night accommodation fee and the day time can be saved.
 Direct flights are operated between the two cities. Duration is about 2 hours. Full price for an economy class is CNY 900, while discounts are offered in low season when the ticket fare can be low to CNY 300. Flight can be a more preferable choice then, especially for those who are pressed for time.

The overnight sleeper trains are also competitive. On one hand, railway stations are usually with easier access compared with airports. On the other hand, ticket fare of trains is fixed and a rail trip is cheap in most cases. A sleeper can assure passengers a good rest onboard.
