Just a mere fifteen years earlier, getting from one city to another left travelers with very few options. And now all of that has changed (complete).
Taking a trip from Shanghai to Beijing? For those under the pressures of the clock, the (quick) and most convenient mode of travel would be the plane. New airports (spring) up in every major province, opening up access to regions of China, which (leave) unexplored by previous foreign travels.
But if the price of planes is a bit high or if the fear of heights gets you down, (take) a bullet train is a great option. The bullet railway is just barely longer the plane trip and watching city and countryside views from the window is an experience in (it).
And the options don't stop there. Why not take wheel yourself? Nowadays car rental is easy and inexpensive. The newly paved roads are welcoming and GPS systems (be) just as advanced as any international area. Take to the backroads and explore the different parts of the countryside, have taken a significant jump in living standards.
