By plane

Flights to different points are available from the Shijiazhuang airport. However, the airport is located far from the city center, which adds a lot of travel time on a plane flight. Most just take the train to Beijing and fly from there, connecting by the express trains (2 hrs to and from Beijing).

By train

Shijiazhuang is one of the largest railway hubs in China, and so there are many trains to and from Shijiazhuang. The express train to Beijing is two hours.

Bullet D trains leave regularly from the train station and from the smaller Shijiazhuang North train station. Second Class is and First Class is to Beijing West Train Station if you purchase at the train station. If you use one of the many train ticket offices, expect to pay a surcharge per ticket, but it is faster and the prices for all cities are posted on the walls (including all style of seat). The sign is in Chinese though.

By bus

Notice that buses to neighboring cities and towns depart from different bus stations, but each of these stations (and many close destinations) can be conveniently reached by buses and minibuses from the Central Railway Station. Long-distance buses (e.g. to Beijing) depart/arrive to the main bus station, just a few minutes walk to the south of the Railway Station.

By car

The road network is as well quite good and Shijiazhuang can be reached from Beijing by car in about 3 hours.
