Please let me know the schedule of Maglav trains from Hangzhou to Shangahai, the time it takes to reach Hangzhou and the cost for a single trip.
Thanks very much.

Mr.James replied:
To Mr Kitagenda. No maglev train from Hangzhou to Shanghai. There are bullet train (D trains). The ticket fare is 63/76RMB (about 1.5 hours)
You can see time schedule here, for there are so many trains between Hangzhou and Shanghai every day.

As I know, you could use your credit card when purchasing the tickets. But, it seems that your card should have the logo of the UnionPay~

What do you mean when you say that it is only 40 RMB if you have a single Air Ticket for the same day? What king of Air ticket is this? Or is this a special kind of air ticket exclusive to some airlines only?
Do you mean to say that if we can show an electronic ticket of any airline, our Ticket Fare will be reduced to only 40 RMB instead of the usual 50 RMB? Pls clarify. Thank You very much.

Hi, your understanding is right. You will have an electronic ticket either for leaving or arriving shanghai. Present it when you get on the maglev, you will get a 20% discount, which means the usual 50RMB will be reduced to 40RMB
