| Transportation in China |
| Transportation is an important part of traveling in China. Here you will find some useful information of air and ground transport info. |
Air
China Aviation system is quite centralized, in spite of the efforts to open domestic market to foreign airlines. Starting from 2002, the central administration (CAAC-Civil Aviation Administration of China) has been pushing the merger between the many airlines to form 4 big blocs, China Eastern, Air China, China Southern, and Hainan Airlines. The fleets mostly consist of new planes of Boeing and Airbus, guaranteeing the quality and safety. |
Train
Train is still the most important mass transportation vehicle. With its affordable fares, comfortable sleeping booths and increasing speed, it is competing with air and bus. Some overnight train rides are convenient and comfortable and are wooing more business people than air. The overnight train between Shanghai and Beijing even has private twin/single rooms and private toilet.

Bus
Bus transport is developing at an amazing speed, with the quick spread of quality roads all over the country. In some short distance transportation, the bus is killing the train with more departures, more comfortable seats and shorter time. Imported or domestically assembled buses like Benz, Volvo, Daewoo can be found in most eastern parts of China. |
Our Fleet of Vehicles
As cars and maintenance costs are quite expensive in China, you will find less car models in China except for big cities like Shanghai. We choose comfo rtable cars like Santana 2000 by VW, vans like Urvan of Nissan or its Chinese equivalent, and buses made by China top manufacturers. All are equipped with A/C and heating and proper safety facilities.  | |
