Traveling by normal trains, you are advised to buy a sleeper as the carriages for hard seats may be rather crowded, especially during the holidays. Besides, you are recommended to buy the sleeper tickets in advance because it's usually in a great demand.

Among these normal rides, there are some overnight sleeper trains like Z27, Z25 and Z255 which are most recommended and popular among budget travelers, since they save hotel cost and daytime for sightseeing.
 

Flight

Passengers can also travel by air which only takes about 2 hours, but it will usually cost more. Besides, the airports are a little far from the downtown area, and it takes time for the transfer, which makes the total air travel time almost the same as the high speed rail travel time.
