Beijin Transport from Beijing to Shanghai
Posted: Fri June 20, 2008 02:12 AM UTC
Hi friends!
I want to know the better way to go from Beijing to Shanghai, I supposed maybe by plane is the best but....maybe the train is a good option to know their trains, but I don't know if it's a good idea or maybe not.
thanks for your help!

Train takes longer time and air cost higher.

If you are not in hurry,you can take train and look around on the way

yes,just try it as there are English signs at the railway station and in the trains, and what you gonna do is just to follow them. If you wanna know more about China or need more help, welcome to my website: http://www.hellochina.com/invite/by/vili/culture_en

Take the overnight train. Nothing to see of course, but it saves a hotel bill. It's comfortable enough, and it's city centre to city centre.
