Yes, there are trains from Shanghai to Taishan. Here are some of the train schedules:
I have 3-4 weeks available to travel in November/ December, I have never been to China, but I am interested to go there and have read that travel by train is worth doing, I will be travelling on my own. I am mostly interested in exploring Chinese regional cuisines and Markets, although if there are significant historical sites that shouldnt be missed I would readily include them in my plans too. I am quite happy to travel by train to a destination stop for a few days and then move on to somewhere else; if travelling overnight I would prefer to go by routes that have "Soft sleeper" or if by day on trains that have "Soft seat" class.
My question is can anyone suggest an itinerary that is realistic, unfortunately aming the people I know who have been to China most have only been to Beiging and Hong Kong and usually only for business reasons. I have found that Guide books are really not much use in deciding if somewhere is worth visiting and prefer to get recomendations from people who have actually been there, among the places that I want to visit are Chengdu, Shanghai, Guangzhou and probably Beijing.
Thanks for any helpful replies, if it was neccesary I could extend my trip up to 6 weeks,
Regards,
Leigh

Hi, Mr. James. You can take a taxi directly and it costs about 200 Chinese Yuan. Since it is your first time to Beijing, taking a taxi is the easiest way. Or you may take the Airport Express to Dongzhimen Station. Then change to No.980 autobus and you can reach Miyun.

Hello, im planning on travelling from Kathmandu via flight to Lhasa then ill take the train to Beijing via Xian or would you recommend travelling the other way round? Can i buy the train tickets in Lhasa and Beijing as a single traveller? And where do you recommend bokking these tickets? What other permissions will be necessary for this trip (Tibet?)? How much will this ticket be approximately for students? thanxx

Do you mean that you will take the train from Lhasa to Beijing? Or will you take the train from Lhasa to Xian first and after then take another train to Beijing? If so, you can try to reserve the train ticket from your hotel in Lhasa and Xian by paying certain handling service charge.
Visitors who want to visit Lhasa from Katmandu have to hold the China visa reconfirmed by the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. And the original passports, faxed copies of travel permit and authorization letter from the Tibetan agent are necessary to complete the procedure, which is a little bit complicated, i think.
By the way, the soft sleeper berth is ￥1262 on the train of Beijing/ Lhasa. It is ￥825 on the train of Lhasa/ Xian and t is ￥417 on the train of Xian/ Beijing.
