This article is for those guys who don’t mind troubles. ⊙﹏⊙
So, here’s a saving way to travel from Beijing to Shenzhen(or Guangzhou,Hong Kong) via Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport(SJW), which costs you low to ¥370 and about 8 hours for a single trip.
ITINERARY
1. Beijing West Railway Station -> Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport Station (by High-Speed Rail)
2. Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport Station -> Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport Terminal (by Free Shuttle Bus)
3. Fly to Shenzhen(SZX)/Guangzhou(CAN)/Hong Kong(HKG). (by Spring Airline, a low cost carrier. Or other airlines.)
Beijing -> Zhengding Airport -> Shenzhen
So…actually…HOW to make it possible?
1. Buy the High-Speed Rail Ticket. You can buy it via Internet, Railway Station or Ticket agents.
a. I prefer buying ticket on the Internet. (You can buy tickets 20 days before departure, but you need a UnionPay card and the website is in Chinese.) Why not ask a local friend to help you out?
b. Maybe the most convenient way for you is to buy tickets at the Railway Station.(1~18 days before departure.) Tell the clerk your DESTINATION[Zhengding International Airport] and DEPARTURE DATE, show your PASSPORT, and pay. Tips: Buy tickets at Beijing North Station(Xizhimen) may save your time.
c. Recommend : Make sure you can get cheap air tickets before buying railway tickets.
2. Book your air ticket.
(Spring Airline is a Low Cost Carrier)
a. Click in Spring Airline Offcial Website: www.china-sss.com . You can switch it to English.
b. Search your flight. (The same as you do with other airlines)
c. Purchase it immediately if the fare is low enough. (Accept both Chinese bank card and International Credit Card.)
d. Caution: Special tickets can NOT be refund. ( except Taxes and Sub-charges )
3. Make sure your Connecting Time is more than 90 mins. (From the arrival of Railway to the departure of Flight)
OK, all the bookings you need are done.
How to… GO? Take Beijing->Shenzhen as an example.
1. I brought a railway ticket departure at 7:10. So I got to Beijing WEST station at 6:00 and had a Value Breakfast at McDonald’s outside the station.(The McDonald’s inside the station is a robber! Well, you know the reason.) It’s recommended that you get to the railway station at least 30 min before departure.
2. The train took me to Zhengding airport station. I exited the paid area, followed the airport sign to take the shuttle bus. It took me about 10 min to the airport terminal.
3. I used the Self-service machine to check in. (Or Counter.)
4. With my Boarding Pass, I took few steps to the Airport Information Counter. Showed the stuff my Boarding Pass and High-Speed Rail Ticket, then he wiped out my High-Speed Rail fare.(Yes! He will give your money back!)
5. I passed the Security Check and did as usual.
6. Shenzhen!
How can this be such cheap?
1. You know, Spring Airline is a LCC.
2. Zhengding Airport is not busy,compared to Beijing. So Airline operation is low.
3. The airport is willing to attract passengers from nearby cities, so it wipe out your rail ticket.

Writing down these might help you a lot.
点燃炸药的,是在博卡拉的那个晚上。
领导大人兴高采烈地从商店里买来一包 Made in UK 的某种块状Yogurt,脸上挂着喜庆的领导特有笑容,给我递上一块:来,吃!
我坚决地回答:不用了,谢谢。
领导马上追问:为什么?
我只好告知原由:我不喜欢吃这种东西。
领导小白的脸突然转黑:为什么你吃阿姨给的东西不吃我的东西?!
。。。。。。
(此处省略N个对话.)
“我想我们不是朋友了。” 这句话竟然由领导说出。
这句话,Hurt me so bad.
不知不觉,我心中的泪压达到了临界点,眼泪一奔而出。
吸取高三那年被B悠看见我流眼泪的教训,我毅然跑到街上。
正当我企图从裤袋里拿出清风纸巾擦干涕泪之时,我发现,我忘带纸巾了……
如今之计,只好……
随便进了一家餐厅,用了人家无数张餐巾纸。然后点了一杯混合果汁和一瓶雪碧,借此消愁。
