Lanzhou-Chengdu Train Travel Tips

Generally speaking, the airfare is about 1,200 CNY for a single trip. Sometimes, in the shoulder or low season, the discounts can be quite good and sometimes the cost is only a little higher than the price of a soft sleeper ticket.

However, passengers have to take into consideration the cost of transportation to and from the airports. A flight only takes about 1½ hours.
