If traveling from Zheng Zhou to Xin Yang, what is the best means of transportattion, how long?

There are two methods to take you to reach Xinyang.
The first one is to take the direct bus from Zhengzhou Central Bus Station at No. 14, Xinglong Street near the Zhengzhou Railway Station. The journey takes about 4 hours. The fare is 103RMB
The second way is to take the bullet trains to from Zhengzhou East Railway Station to reach XY East Railway Station and then you can take a taxi to reach anywhere you plan to go in the city. The journey takes about an hour and a half. The ticket fare is 155 RMB for the second class seat and 248RMB for the first class seat.
I usually takes the second method, because it is fast, although it is a little bit expensive.

Thank you so much! I'll probably take the bullet train!
