How to get from Chengdu to Changsha? By train or by plane? How much does it cost?

There is no direct train from Chengdu to Changsha, and you want the cheapest ticket option. I suggest you transfer to Changsha.

From Chengdu to Dazhou, you can take the 5642/5643 air-conditioned express trains (Chengdu-Wanzhou). The departure time from Chengdu is 12:25 and arrives at Dazhou at 18:44. It takes 6 hours and 19 minutes to run, with hard seats. Ticket price is 49 yuan.

After arriving in Dazhou, wait for more than 3 hours and then take the 1007/1010 non-air-conditioned general express (Dazhou-Guangzhou). The departure time from Dazhou is 22:16, and it will arrive in Changsha at 19:52 the next day. It needs to run 21 hours and 36 minutes, hard seat 78 yuan, hard sleeper upper/middle/lower berth: 156/163/169 yuan.

In this way, if you buy all seat tickets from Chengdu to Changsha, it only costs 127 yuan. If you buy sleeper tickets for the section from Dazhou to Changsha, it is also the price of seat tickets in other air-conditioned cars. Total *** It’s only 218 yuan. So it’s a good deal, but it’s recommended to take bus 1007/1010 when the weather is cooler.

If you fly, you need to hurry up. The discount will not be very low, at least 40-30% off, which is between 500-600, and it is during the off-season.
