Transportation Between Cities in China
Train – The railway infrastructure in China is immense. Trains are safe and not too expensive. Good for mid to long range trips
Bus – This is less safe than the trains and not quite as comfortable. The plus side is that bus stations are usually very conveniently located. Good for short-haul trips.
