Both T and K types are operated between Xian Railway Station and Tianjin Railway Station. Among them, T types take the shortest time of about 15 - 16.5 hours, so T56/T58 are highly recommended if you choose to travel by normal speed train. Besides, you are advised to purchase a soft sleeper or hard sleeper for this relatively long journey and remember to purchase the sleeper tickets in advance as they may be sold out in no time when they are released.

However, if count in the travel time to/from the airports, and the flight boarding time, the total consumed time of flight has no big different from that of high speed G trains. Relatively speaking, rail trip is also a preferable choice if you don’t want to suffer from frequent flight delays or cost more for flight ticket.
