Hi Karen,

If you have to travel from Beijing and back to Beijing at last, there are no better itinerrary than the one you listed, logically or economically.

Plane:

Beijing -> Xian: 1050.00
Xian -> Guilin: 1090.00
Guilin -> Beijing: 1790.00

You may get discount, but you have to pay for airport construction fee (50yuan) and fuel surcharge (about 40yuan??)

Train(softsleeper):

Beijing - > Xian: 417.00 (Recommend)
Xian -> Guilin: 613.00 (I suggest you take flight for this section, it takes more than 28 hours!!)
Guilin -> Beijing: 658.00 (It takes at least about 23 hours! Taking flight is better.)

Even perhaps can I pre-book soft sleeper? Thanks

As Jabarootoo suggested, even you buy flight tickets by yourselves at the airport, you can get discounts.
