Among the ordinary ones, Z and T types are recommended which are faster than K types. Also, you can travel overnight to save the daytime. But please get you a sleeper to have a good rest. In this way, you will be energetic upon arrival to travel around the city. If you arrive in the city at midnight, it will be difficult for the hotel arrangement and it's not convenient because there will be no bus and only taxis will be available. So if you departure in the morning and arrive in the evening, please book a hotel in advance and arrange everything properly.    

 

Flight

You can also travel by plane which only takes about 2.5 hours. But the flight ticket is expensive compared with railway ticket. In addition, the airports are located a little far from the downtown area, and it needs at least 2 hours from/to the airport to/from the downtown.
