Personally, I prefer to travel by train or bus because it costs less than plane. Sometimes, I take taxi in cities. As a foreigner, what type of transportation do you prefer when you travel?

I haven't been to any other country so far. In China, I just traveled by train and bus. Didn't take a plan yet.

Blemish, sometimes I would rather choose plan rather than bullet trains. For example, the airtickets from Beijing to Shanghai are cheaper in low season, almost the same as the bullet train tickets. In this situation, I would take plane instead or train because it saves time by plane.

Even in side was like a plane. I just took bullet train several times and haven't taken the plane. I'll check it out which way is more comfortable in the future.

I like the independence of being able to stop at any time when I want too if I pass something interesting. Last summer I drove from Beijing to Kashgar. A round trip of about 1100 km. I could have taken the easy option and just flown in, but then I would have been just like any other tourist. Dodger.

I prefer something cheaper, suitable and faster, so it can be plane, train, car, taxi or even on foot. From Hong Kong to Shenzhen for example, I'd prefer train or car simply because using bus I need to get down to stamp my passport and board the bus again.

I have tried bullet train in Japan, and high speed train from Tianjin to Beijing that took only 30 minutes. Sometimes flight is cheaper than train and faster too. I flew from Beijing to Kunming for example than cost me less than RMB500 by Hainan Air. From Xi'an to Shenzhen it's only RMB550 while soft sleeper train is more than RMB600 and will take almost 30 hours.
