I'm afraid no. But the direct high speed trains have started to run, taking over 6 hours and a second class seat costs no more than CNY270.

You can take long-distance bus from Qintan Bus Station at 11:00 with CNY160. I think you can't buy the bus ticket in advance because other tourism website only has Chinese version.
