Rail travel on high-speed G-trains provides direct city-center to city-center connections and consistent onboard facilities for long-distance journeys. Buses are cheaper but take substantially longer and may require transfers; flights reduce airborne time but add airport transfers, security and check-in time, often increasing total door-to-door travel time. For Guangzhou to Beijing, high-speed rail combines reliable schedules and on-board seating options across classes.
