From China to Paris by plane
If you would like to take the plane to come from China to Paris, the first information you need is about airports from which you can leave.
The airports from which you can leave to Paris are:
- Shanghai (both Pu Dong and Hongqiao);
- Beijing;
- Canton Xi An;
- Chengdu.
The time that you will spend on the plane and the cost of the ticket vary:
- By taking the cheapest tickets, you spend from 300 to 500 euros and it takes about 40 hours.
- If you find a cheap ticket for a flight that lasts a reasonable amount of time, the travel will last about 24 hours. The cost is around 600 euros.
- You can also find flights that last about 12 hours from the Airport such as the Canton one. The cost is around 700 €.
Beijing-Paris by Train
If we were in a movie, I would definitely choose the train option to go from China to Paris. This is a very famous route. It is perfect for those who aren’t afraid of spending too much time in such a place.
If you are really thinking of plan something like this adventure, you have two options:
- You can book a train from Beijing to Moscow and then from Moscow to Paris. It costs about 800-900 euros. The trouble is that the Paris-Moscow train does not circulate every day. So you have to be very precise in your organization.
- Or, you can book the tickets for the most important cities you want to visit and then live the full adventure by getting off where you want and moving towards Paris by train you choose time by time.
This is the adventure of a lifetime. The real plus of this choice is that you will pass through different areas of the world. You will experience different time zones! And you can experience all this by taking a train or by following your own personal path by car.
