China flights: fast & convenient transfer.

Flights or airplanes are the fastest and most convenient way to travel from International cities to China and among most destinations in China. Taking flight is not only time-saving but also energy saving. There are many international airports in China that travelers can choose your ideal gateway to China, like Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Chengdu, etc. Till now, 18 cities of China offers 72-hour visa free transit and travelers can make short stay in most of popular cities. Besides, the Big Four Airlines – Air China, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines serve you most in China. China Discovery is here ready to book domestic flights for you to well match your tour arrangements in each destination. Also, we can help to book international flights for your coming and departure. If you are a member of a certain airline company, please tell your travel consultant for they can consult about membership points for you. If you book it on your own, please notice the departure time, airports and terminal and do some research about the transfer.

China Trains: High Speed Train Travel

Different trains can take travelers to almost every city and region. By the December of 2014, China has the world’s longest HSR network with over 16,000 km, extending to 28 of China’s 34 provinces and regions. You are highly recommended to travel around China by high speed train (G trains, D trains and C trains) with an average speed of 250 km/h or higher. Fast, safe, reliable, comfortable and environment-friendly high speed trains are now rivaling air travel as an efficient means of transportation for long distance. Most of the tourist cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Luoyang, Guilin, Chengdu, Huangshan, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guiyang, Guangzhou and more have high speed train running through and many travelers choose high speed train travel as a part of China experience during their trip. It is very popular to travel Beijing-Xian, Beijing-Shanghai, Xian-Luoyang, Guilin-Guiyang, Lanzhou-Urumqi, Chengdu-Chongqing, Yichang-Wuhan, and Pingyao-Xian…by high speed train.

The Best Ways To Go To China and Travel Around

China has built a comprehensive transportation system of airports, trains, highways, subways, ports, and waterways that is world class in many places.

In the past decade, the construction of high speed rail lines, highways, and many new subways has transformed China's transportation system and the daily life of the people.

This information is about how to best enjoy these new transportation facilities to go to China, travel between cities, and local travel.

How To Get to China

By air travel.

Airplanes are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation for international travel between most of the countries in the world and China. Air travel can save precious time and energy for enjoying the attractions in your destination.

China's Airlines have witnessed dramatic improvements year upon year. In 2015, 436 million air passengers were ferried. This is almost double the passengers who flew in 2009.

The hubs of China's air travel are Beijing , Shanghai , Guangzhou and Hong Kong . These four cities were in the world's top 20 busiest airports in 2015.

International flights go to major cities around the world, and domestic flights go to all major cities within the country. See top gateway cities>>

There are two cities in China that have two airports: Beijing ( Capital International Airport and Nanyuan Airport) and Shanghai ( Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport ).

Air Travel Tips

  • If you choose to board a plane by yourself, please make sure of your flight information: departure time, flight terminal and airport.
  • Please let us know if you are a member of a certain airline company if you book flights with China Highlights because we can consult about membership points for you.
  • Visa free access: Currently about 16 cities have 72-hour visa-free access.

Book Discount China Flights with China Highlights: real-time search, lower prices, and easy booking.

By International Cruise Ship

Cruise ships: Some would enjoy the leisurely option of international travel by cruise ship. Cruise ships dock at Tianjin for passengers going to Beijing. Ships ply all around East Asia and could take you to China or Hong Kong.

By International Train

International trains: Russians and Europeans might consider a journey from Moscow to Beijing . The journey time presently is about 124 to 144 hours depending on the route.

There are direct train lines to Vietnam also. The Hanoi, Vietnam to China train is an option especially for border crossing from Guangxi. International trains also go to Ulan Bator (Mongolia) and Pyongyang (North Korea).

How To Travel Long Distances in China

Once you're in China, we recommend domestic flights for simple, convenient longer distance travel, especially to western China and parts of central China.

But a recent development is that China's new bullet trains allow travel to many cities in the central, eastern and northeastern areas that is fast, convenient and economical.

Transportation Between Main Tourist Cities

Here is a plethora of information including bus stations, trains, and ferries and addresses for travel between these cities:

  • Beijing-Shanghai Transportation
  • Shanghai -Hangzhou Transportation
  • Guangzhou-Shenzhen Transportation
  • Guangzhou-Hong Kong Transportation
  • Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macau Transportation
  • Hong Kong -Shenzhen Transportation
  • Hong Kong-Macau Transportation

China Train Travel

Traveling by train is one of the cheapest ways to travel on some of the long distance routes in China, and it is popular with the local population. In general, we recommend that tourists would benefit from taking bullet trains where possible and only taking the slower regular trains to save money if you have the time to travel or the interest. See Out of the Ordinary Trains below for special interest trains.

Bullet Train Travel

Bullet trains : On routes to cities where it is available, it offers speed, convenience and economy. China's new bullet train system is unique in the world for its size and low priced tickets . For example, you can presently travel between Beijing and Shanghai by the superfast G train in five or six hours for 88 USD and save money and time.

However, for longer journeys between Beijing and Guangzhou (8 to 10 hours) or Shanghai to Chongqing (13 hours), taking a plane is probably more convenient though more expensive.

English: Compared to regular train stations, the bullet train stations have more extensive English signage and the staff speak more English.

What To Expect on Chinese Trains

It is important to know what to expect if you decide to travel by train in China.

English is generally not spoken by any of the staff on the regular trains or in the regular railway stations, and there are limited English signs on the regular railway stations.

China Highlights recommends booking a soft sleeper because you'll get a separate waiting lounge. Priority boarding is available at the railway stations for passengers traveling in the soft sleeper section.

Train Travel Tips

  • China Trains Schedules and Booking
  • More information about Train Travel in China including classifications, accommodation classes of China's trains, and tips for taking trains in China.
  • International Trains: Beijing–Ulan Bator, Beijing–Moscow, Beijing–Hanoi, and Beijing–Pyongyang.

Out-of-the-Ordinary Trains

The Shanghai Maglev Train was the first commercial maglev line in the world, and as yet, it is the only working commercial line. It was listed by Guinness Records in 2003 as the fastest train in the world in commercial use. It can reach 431 km/hr (268 mph) during the journey.

These two regular trains below are notable:

  • The scenic Qinghai to Tibet train: If you have the time to travel and can afford the extra expense, this high altitude train in an enjoyable experience for many. But it is much more expensive than a flight to Lhasa.

An App for Train Travel on the Go

China Train Booking brings our widely acclaimed China train ticket booking onto your smartphone. More and more travelers plan and book tickets with smartphones, and this app is just the right one for smart train travel. It helps travelers search real-time timetables, check availability, and book China train tickets with just some taps on your phone.

Long Distance Travel in China by Bus

We suggest that you don't use long distance buses unless absolutely necessary due to uncomfortable conditions and safety concerns. Buses go everywhere in China and are economical, but theft and other issues are more likely.

In 2012, the total mileage of highways in China reached 4,237,000 km (2,633,000 miles). Almost all towns, counties, and cities are accessible by highway, and buses can take you almost anywhere. Highway construction has actually intensified since.

Road conditions are usually very good, but be prepared that in remote areas such as Guizhou, Tibet and Xinjiang, the roads might be poor. It is suggested that travelers lower their expectations for facilities or comfort in these areas.

The frequent departures available for buses make the tickets easier to get than train tickets. Buses are also often cheaper than train travel for the same distance.

Sleeper buses are available for longer trips. Bed space is very cramped and you should take extra special care of your belongings. Theft is more common on buses than in the hard bed or soft bed cabins on trains.

Read more information about highway travel in China , including how to buy bus tickets, how to find and board the bus, bus travel tips, and conditions in China's buses.

China Tourist Cruises

Yangtze cruises : Of all the rivers, the long and broad Yangtze River is the favorite for cruise boat tours.

There is interesting and beautiful scenery. You can travel all the way from Shanghai to Chongqing by cruise boat and see cities and highlights in between as your leisurely travel.

Since they are simple to use, safe and quite inexpensive (a ticket may be as low as 30 cents USD), travel by subway is probably the best way for tourists where they are available.

Rapid construction: Since 2002, subways were rapidly built in many cities. Now [2017] about 23 cities have subways lines, and more subway systems are under construction in other cities. The top two longest subways are in Shanghai and Beijing.

They are a good way for tourists to get around because there are English signs and maps and English speaking attendants. Subways stop at central hubs where you can conveniently transfer to other means of transportation.

More information about China's subways such as boarding and tips.

Taking a Taxi in China

Taking a taxi is the most comfortable and secure way of getting around. Taking a taxi is a very fast and convenient way to get to your destination, whether it be a hotel, a scenic spot, an airport, or a railway station.

You can find taxis in almost every city , and the fare is relatively inexpensive for Western travelers. Simply wave your hand and a taxi will stop for you. Prices vary by city but are usually very cheap. The meter should always be activated. Pay the driver upon arrival. Tipping is not the custom.

You can order a taxi from your hotel and ask the concierge to write down your destination on a card. Tourists can also hire a taxi for a half or a whole day , but make sure you first agree on a price with the driver.

More information about taxis in China including the differences between taxi fares in the main tourist cities and tips for taking taxis in China.

Private Transport and Touring - free of hassles, more flexibility

Private drivers: The most convenient and pleasant way is to go with us on private tour or transport. Our driver and guide will wait for you at your hotel and drive you around where you want to go by air-conditioned car.

  • Your guide will arrange your entry tickets and any transport tickets (in advance), saving you a lot of time and trouble lining up.
  • Our English speaking guide will help you travel quickly and comfortably and interpret for you.

We are known for providing hassle free and individualized help for our customers. We are especially helpful for tourists who don't speak the language and are new to traveling in China. Going with a disreputable outfits can cause problems.

Unusual Local Transportation

In many places tourists go, there are people on motorcycles, tricycles, pedicabs and even bicycles available and looking for riders. We suggest that tourists new to China avoid these for safety and to avoid being overcharged. Locals will often ride these types of vehicles for convenience and price, but they are familiar with the area and know what to expect.

Cycling in China

Cycling is an excellent method for getting around in China's cities or seeing tourist sights such as Guilin or Xi'an. But now in many inner cities, cycling is restricted or illegal.

China still is thought of by many as the kingdom of bicycles. China had 500 million bicycles in 1987 or one for every two citizens. But China now has the largest automobile industry by far, and about twenty million automobiles are sold each year.

However, in some poor rural parts of the country, bicycles are still ingrained in everyday life . They are an important means of transportation , and while on tour in China, you can rent a bike and join them riding bikes in the country.

  • China Biking Tours

Walking in China

There is probably no better way than walking around to give you an authentic experience of ordinary life. By walking in the lanes or the neighborhoods, you will see things you might never notice from the tourist coach.

However, before you hit the road, here are some tips:

  • When crossing the street, you need to look BOTH ways even if the green light is on.
  • Pickpockets are very common in tourist spots. Don't carry your valuables and passports in a backpack. Put them securely in an inside pocket or a secure pocket in a waist bag and keep an eye on it.
  • Remember to get a business card for your hotel in case you get lost or want to get a taxi back. Or you can ask the hotel staff to write down the places you want to go in both Chinese and English.
  • Buy a tourist map of the city with street names and sights in both English and Chinese in case you want to ask for directions.
  • Take some small change with you in case you get tired or lost and want to take a subway, bus or taxi. Taxi drivers are reluctant to break 100 Yuan notes, and you might end up getting fake notes in your change.

Tour China in Luxury

Transportation in China has been greatly expanded in recent years to meet the growing Chinese tourism industry, and China’s transportation system has modernized as a result. The major transportation systems in China includes aviation, railway, highway, water transportation, and so on.

Tour with the China travel experts — call China Tour today at (888) 878-1777 to book your exclusive package!

China’s Bullet Train System

Trains are the best and most often utilized means to transport people and goods in China at reasonable price and speed. The railway lines covers every province, except Hainan, and the link to Lhasa was completed in 2006.

The major national arteries include Jingguang (Beijing to Guangzhou), Jingjiu (Beijing to Kowllon), Jinghu (Beijing to Shanghai), Jingha (Beijing to Harbin), and Longhai (Lanzhou to Liangyungang) lines. International railway lines have routes to Ulan Boator (Mongolian), Pyongyang (North Korea), Moscow (Russia), and Hanoi (Vietnam), Alma-ata (Kazakhstan).

The national railways are always very busy especially during certain times like Spring Festival. Most trains have dining cars and the food is generally quite good.

In 2007, the high-speed rail service was introduced to China. The high-speed train is faster, more punctual and more comfortable and convenient than normal ones.

Travel China by Air

China is a large country, slightly larger than the continental US, so it is often easier to travel around China by air. The air transportation network in China is extensive, and the civil aviation fleet is predicted to triple in size over the next two decades.

The four largest Chinese airlines – Air China, Southern Airlines, Eastern Airlines, and Hainan Airlines with over 2,000 airliners. Today, Chinese airports have 1,279 regular air routes among which 1,035 are domestic flights and 224 are international (including Hong Kong and Macau). The international and domestic timetable in English and Chinese comes out in every April and November and visitors can get it at some airports and the office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

As for baggage, the free baggage allowance for an adult is 20kg in economy class and 30kg in first class. And it is free for 5kg hand luggage. The charge for excess baggage is 1% of the full fare for each kilogram. Keep your baggage receipt label on your ticket when you take back your luggage. Compensation for lost baggage is 40rmb per kilogram.

Travel China by Highway

There are a series of trunk routes connecting all of China. Nearly all cities, villages, and counties are interconnected by these highways. Bridges and tunnels have gone a long way towards unifying China. For example, Runyang and Jiangyin Suspension Bridges over the Yangtze River span about 1,385 and 1,490 meters respectively and are the third and fourth biggest highway bridges in the world. 

Cruise on Yangtze River

Waterway transportation is common in coastal and river areas such as Putuoshan, Hainan and the islands off Hong Kong, the Yangtze River area, Yangshuo and Guilin, etc. Hong Kong uses a veritable navy of vessels to stay connected with the territory’s islands, and many boats run between the territory and other parts of China like Macau, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and Zhongshan.

The Yangtze and Li rivers are most visited because of splendid natural views. Our 14-day Yangtze River cruise from Chongqing to Yichang is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the river and surrounding environs. Our Li River boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo is also very popular.

Hong Kong Transportation

Hong Kong is the main gateway to China and much of East Asia. Therefore, the international air service is excellent and the fierce competition keeps the fares relatively low compared to the neighboring countries.

Hong Kong Air Transport

Hong Kong International Airport, located in Lantau Island, 40 km away from the urban area is one of the 10 big harbor airports in the world. There are daily services to almost every corner of the world, which includes America, Europe, Canada, the mainland of china, South African, and Indonesia, Japan, the Middle East, Austria and Southeastern Asia Nations. The main airline companies in Hong Kong are Guotai and Ganglong companies.

Hong Kong City - Airport

The Airport Express line is the fastest and most expensive way to get to/from the airport. You can also go by bus, taxi and underground.

Airport Express Line (AEL)

Airport express is the special railway for the airport. It is convenient and reliable. The 35.3km journey between the Airport and the city takes as long as 24 minutes. Trains run by the Airport Express Line depart from Hong Kong Station every 10 minutes from 5:50 to 0:48. And it stops at the Kowloon Station and Tsing Yi Station en route.

It takes about 24 minutes by the airport express to Hong Kong station from the airport. If you take the airport express with an Octopus Card to the urban area, you can take the MTR for free.

Airport bus

There are more than 30 special bus lines serving the International Airport. The most useful ones for travelers are the A11 and A12 which go past major hotel areas in Hong Kong Island and A 21 which serves hotel areas in Kowloon.

The taxi station is just outside the main airport building on the left. And it would cost about 335 HK$ from the airport to the Mid District and 270 HK$ to Tsim Sha Tsui.

The most economical way from the airport to the urban area

First, take the S1 bus to Tung Chung MTR underground station from the Airport bus station at a cost of 3.5 HK$, and then take the underground to the urban area.

Hong Kong Train Transport

The kowloon-canton railway (kcr) trains.

The Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) mainly runs on three local lines from Kowloon to the New Territories and three outlines from Kowloon up to the mainland. It is the main transportation channel that connects Kowloon, New Territories with the mainland.

Serving Area:

Kowloon-Canton Eastern Railway : Luohu, north New Territories, Shatian to Kowloon (Hung Hom Station)

Kowloon-Canton Western Railway : West New Territories to Kowloon, ( Nam Cheong st. Sham Shui Po)

Light Transit Railway : Tuen Mun in west New Territories to Yuen Long

Cantoon-Kowloon Through Railway : Guangdong to Kowloon (Hung Hom Station)

Operating time : operating time varies based on different lines. It is from 5:30 in the morning to 12:30 at midnight for Kowloon-Canton Eastern Railway and Western Railway.

Tips : There are light transit railways running between New Territories, Tuen Mun and Yuen Long, and buses to those relatively remote areas as well.

Hong Kong Railway Station

Location: Hong Kong Railway Station is located in Cheong Wan Road, Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Hung Hom Station, formerly Known as Kowloon Station is the terminal station of both the East Rail Line and West Rail Line in Hong Kong. At the same time, it is also the center of the Hong Kong Metro Railway Station. Hung Hom Station, located in the West Rail Line, was opened in 1914. It is 2,407 kilometers from Beijing West Railway Station and 35 kilometers from Shenzhen Railway Station.

Hong Kong Ferry - from Downtown and Airport

All main ports in Hong Kong have ferries. There are ferries running inside Hong Kong Island (between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon) and outside (between the urban the outlying islands). The main ferry running inside the island is the star ferry which operates every several or dozens of minutes. It has ports at Central, Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui. Commuting by ferry is surprisingly cheap, only costing HK$ 2.2 for seats on the above floor and HK$ 1.7 for seats on the below floor from Central or Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui. It is the cheapest way of getting around.

Servicing Areas: Four types

  • Between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon
  • Between Hong Kong Island and outlying islands
  • Between Hong Kong Island and Macau
  • Between Kowloon and Macau

Operating Hours: Different for each route, mainly daytime

The Star Ferry is the main ferry operator between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The frequency is every few minutes to just over 10 minutes. The Star Ferry has piers at Central, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom. It only costs HK$2.2 for Central - Tsim Sha Tsui or Wan Chai - Tsim Sha Tsui, it's the best and cheapest way to enjoy Victoria Harbour.

Ferry to Other Destinations in China

Hong Kong is also considered a gateway to other destinations in China. Hong Kong is a channel in going to and from Macau, SAR which is considered as the most known route. Within an hour, one can now experience the other side of Macau. A ferry ride costs HK$ 146 per way, and one can choose from ferry providers such as Turbojet, CotaiStrip and Macao Dragon.

Hong Kong recently opened its ferry hub in its International Airport where ferry providers going to and from Macau are operating. There are 3 ferry terminals in Hong Kong for outward travel, one located in the International Airport, the other in Kowloon and the last is in the Hong Kong Island- which is the most used terminal for Macau routes.

Getting Around Hong Kong

Underground.

Undergrounds are fast, efficient and air-conditioned, and they are the main transportation means in the urban area. There are altogether five lines running from 6:00 in the morning to 1:00 at midnight, and the busy periods are 8:30- 9:00 in the morning and 6:00-7:00 in the afternoon.

Except for the Lantau Island and Outlying Islands, all other districts in Hong Kong have minibusses. The advantages of the minibus are that it runs fast and frequently with overnight operation on some main lines. There are two kinds of minibusses, the green one ( running on a special line) and the red one.

The red minibus doesn't have any fixed stop, frequency and fare, and their routes also change according to the traffic or the seat occupied situation. Except for the usually restricted areas, they can pick up passengers and drop them off anywhere. Normally, the passengers pay when they get off.

Special minibusses are yellow with a green stripe. They run along specific routes and have fixed stops, departing time and prices. Passengers should get on and get off at the appointed location and they should prepare for small change and pay the time they get on.

Trolley Bus

As a unique mode of public transportation in Hong Kong, the trolley bus has a long history. It runs between Shau Kei Wan in the east of Hong Kong Island and Kennedy Town (Belcher Bay) in the west of Hong Kong Island, and there is a branch line running on Happy Valley. In contrast to other transport vehicles, in a trolley bus passengers get on from the back door and pay and get off from the front door.

Operating time: From 6:00 in the morning till 12:00 at midnight.

Fare: It is 2 HS$ for adults and half-price for senior people above the age of 65 and children (under and at the age of 12).

Departing from the Gardon Road, the whole journey will cost only eight minutes.

Running time : From 7:00 in the morning till12:00 at midnight Price for the ticket: the price for an adult one-way ticket is HK$20 and HK$30 for a flat fare. The price for old people (above and at the age of 65) for one-way ticket is HK$7 and for return ticket is HK$ 14, for children (between 3 and 11 years old) for one-way ticket is HK$6 and for return ticket is HK$9.

Tips: The peal tram is the most important transportation vehicle for Victoria Peak, so you can’t miss it.

There are three kinds of taxis in Hong Kong: the red taxis serving Hong Kong Island and Kowloon; the green ones in the New Territories and the blue taxis on Lantau Island. The red ones also run in the south and middle of Lantau Island and the international airport.

Rate for the red taxi: The flag down price is 15 HK$for the first two kilometers and after that an additional 1.4 HK$ is charged per every 200 meters, 1.4 HK$ is charged for per minute waiting.

Except for some appointed areas in the Kowloon district and the international airport on Lantau Island, the green taxis are only allowed to run in New Territories.

Rate for a green taxi: 12.5 HK$ for the first two km and after 1.2 HK$ is charged per km, 1.20 HK$ is charged for every minute waiting.
