Rail travel on CRH high-speed services provides city-center to city-center connections and frequent departures that reduce total travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses have longer journey durations but lower fares and may serve secondary stops. Flights have shorter airborne time but require airport transfers and additional check-in time, which increases door-to-door travel time for Shanghai to Yancheng.

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