Beijing Pingyao High Speed Train

Now if you are going to visit Pingyao from Beijing by trains, basically you have three choices – By bullet trains, by normal overnight trains and transiting at Taiyuan.

1.  Beijing – Pingyao by bullet trains

At the time of my writing, there are two daily bullet trains available going between Beijing and Pingyao.

2. Beijing Pingyao Overnight Train Timetable

Some traveler still prefer to take an overnight train from Beijing to Pingyao and vice versa.

3.  Transit at Taiyuan

Take the 3 hours high speed trains  from Beijing to Taiyuan where you connect for buses or hiring a private car to van for 1 hour driving from Taiyuan to Pingyao.  Pingyao is located about 80km southeast of Taiyuan’s city center.
