Public transportation
Urban Areas: Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou feature well-developed metro systems, offering affordable and fast travel. Buses are widely available and reach areas not served by the metro. Cashless payments, such as WeChat Pay or Alipay, are commonly used for fares.
Intercity Travel: China’s high-speed rail network, the largest in the world, connects major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an with trains reaching speeds up to 350 km/h. Standard rail services are also available for smaller towns and budget travel.
Rural Areas: Public transport is less frequent, relying on local buses and minibusses. Taxis or private car hires are often necessary for remote locations.
Ferries: In coastal and river regions, ferries provide an alternative mode of transport, particularly for reaching islands or navigating large rivers like the Yangtze.
