常见问题

Should I take HSR or bus in China?
HSR 90% of the time. Buses only for: routes HSR doesn't cover, budget travel, or slow scenic routes.
How much cheaper is the bus?
50–70% cheaper than HSR second-class. The trade-off is 3–5x longer travel time.
Can I book a bus with a foreign card?
Most bus stations are walk-up only. Trip.com sells some major routes; otherwise pay cash at the station.
When is the bus actually better?
Rural destinations (e.g., Mt. Huangshan, Wuyuan, Jiuzhaigou) where HSR doesn't reach, or very tight budgets on slow routes.
