Rating

High-speed rail connects city centers directly, avoiding the long transfers required for flights between Shenzhen Bao'an and Hangzhou Xiaoshan airports. While planes are faster in the air, the total travel time is comparable when including security and boarding. Buses are the cheapest alternative but take over 15 hours. Rail travel provides more space and the ability to remain connected throughout the journey.

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