How to travel best? (Train, bus, car or plane) Shanghai - Xian - Pingyao - Datong - Beijing.
We are 4 adults: 2 students and their parents. We plan to travel by night train from Shanghai to Xian. From there we will continue to Pingyao and then via Foguang Temple (Wutai Mountains) to Datong. From there we want to get to Beijing. Should we do everything by train or are there some recommended alternatives?
