Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Kunming are the most prominent international airports in China. Direct flights to European ports such as Paris, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, Madrid, and Athens have been opened.
China's domestic aviation network extends in all directions, with flights connecting major tourist cities such as Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guilin, and Guangzhou. Other regions, such as Xinjiang, Gansu, Yunnan, and Guizhou, also have flights to major transportation hubs like Beijing and Shanghai.

Train travel in China
Train travel in China
Trains, particularly D-trains and G-trains, are known for their punctuality, with minimal delays. Major railway stations in cities offer convenient connections to various modes of transport, including metro lines, buses, taxis, and coaches, making it easy for passengers to navigate and continue their journey seamlessly.
One of the distinctive aspects of train travel is the opportunity it provides to appreciate the scenic views along the journey through the train windows. This immersive experience is quite different from air travel, allowing passengers to enjoy the diverse landscapes of China.
train travel offers more legroom compared to other modes of transportation, and passengers have the flexibility to walk around and stretch their legs during the journey, contributing to a more comfortable and relaxed travel experience.
