Getting Around China

China's transport network is the best on earth — and completely bewildering the first time you use it. High-speed trains run at 350 km/h and are easier to board than a flight. City metro systems are clean, cheap, and signed in English. Long-distance cycling routes cross entire provinces. And the highway network now reaches every corner of the country.

These guides cover the practical details: how to book tickets, what the signs mean, when to choose train over plane, and how not to end up on the wrong platform.
