High-speed rail or flight to Henan? Which gateway city is most convenient?

[Direct conclusion] 【For trips within Henan or from neighbouring provinces, take the high-speed train; for distances over about 1,000 km or tight schedules, fly. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Arriving in Zhengzhou and departing from Luoyang is the most time-efficient combination.】 How to choose: Main gateways: Suggested flow: Henan sits at the centre of China's high-speed rail network, where the Beijing–Guangzhou and Xuzhou–Lanzhou trunk lines cross at Zhengzhou. 2. That makes rail faster and more reliable than flying on many routes. 3. - Rail is better from Beijing, Xi'an, Wuhan, Jinan, Taiyuan and Hefei — 2–4 hours direct, with stations in the city centre, unaffected by weather and rarely delayed. 4. - Flying is better from Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, the Northeast, Xinjiang, and for international connections.
