Rating

High-speed rail offers city-center departures and avoids the long security delays associated with airports. While flights are shorter in duration once airborne, total travel time including transfers to Beijing Capital or Daxing airports is comparable to the 8-hour train ride. Buses are not practical for this distance due to the 24-hour plus journey time. Trains provide more legroom and consistent mobile connectivity throughout the trip.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
