Getting Around

Moving between Chinese cities comes down to two choices — a high-speed train or a domestic flight — plus the last stretch from the airport or station to your hotel. Trains are the default for most routes: stations sit in the city, you book online with your passport, and the passport itself gets you through the gate. Flights make sense for the long hops where the train would take most of a day. The guides here are in the order you will need them: booking, what you can carry, getting through the station or airport, and then the metro and taxis inside the city. The luggage tables are rendered from our verified records of the railway and aviation rules.
