Rail services provide direct city-center to city-center travel and a range of schedules and classes, often with shorter total door-to-door times than flights due to airport transfers. Buses operate more stops and longer durations but may offer lower fares; flights cut airborne time but require transfers and check-in. For most travelers between Guangzhou and Guilin, rail offers consistent frequency and practical boarding at central stations.
