Hi to all,
I found this train

train D3202
departure : Xiamen @ 14.50
arrive : Shanghai @ 22.41am
cost pp : 360RMB

to go to Shanghai

It is quite expensive so I was wondering if exists a cheaper solution like a sleeping bus and how much does it cost?

Greetings,
Raffaele

MADGRIN,

Again, I don’t think sleeping bus is an good idea. The ticket price is about 330 RMB. It takes 15-16 hours.

My suggestion is D trains or flights. The discount flights from Xiamen to Shanghai on July 9,12 and 13 are just around 340 RMB (not sure if it includes fuel surcharge and airport construction fee).

D trains from Xiamen to Shanghai:
D3204 leaves at 11:10 and arrives at 19:05. 7 hours and 55 minutes in all.
D3202 leaves at 14:50 and arrives at 22:41. 7 hours and 51 minutes in all.

Ticket price: 430 RMB for first class and 359 RMB for second class.

The option of a flight is quite interesting ... The only problem is that I'm not sure, now, of the date I'll arrive in Xiamen ...

I suppose I can't change the date after purchased the flight or the change will have high costs ... Is that right?

Thanks gaian, JIMMYB!
