Soft Sleeper	Hard Sleeper	Hard Seat
CNY 415.5 - 427.5 USD 61 - 63	CNY 272.5 - 279.5 USD 40 - 41	CNY 148.5 - 152.5 USD 22 - 23

If possible, travelers are recommended to choose the Z types first since they are the fastest among normal rides. Also, for a long distance trip, it is advisable to choose a sleeper bed instead of hard seat to guarantee a good rest during the journey. For travelers traveling in a group of two, deluxe soft sleeper cabin set up on Z42/Z40 can ensure you a private room, however, the price is much higher.
 Except the rail service, there are also flights available between. The duration is about 2 hours only. However, the airports in both cities are far from the city center. Thus if take the transfer time into consideration, it may not have a big difference with high speed rail service. Passengers can make a comparison between for a final decision based on their schedule and ticket price.
