Guiyang to Fenghuang Ancient Town by train
Would taking the high speed train from Guiyang North Railway Station to Kaili South Railway Station and then taking the normal train from Kaili Railway Station to Fenghuang Ancient Town (Fenghuanggucheng) a faster option than travelling directly from Guiyang North Railway Station to Fenghuang Ancient Town (Fenghuanggucheng) by the normal train?

Thanks in advance.

No direct train from Kaili to Fenghuanggucheng. From Guiyang North to Fenghuanggucheng, you also need a transfer in Huaihua South Railway Station. I think Guiyang North to Fenghuanggucheng with a transfer is a faster choice.
