Shanghai Railway Station is the oldest one with the largest passenger flow volume among the three stations. Passengers from the station can reach all the main cities, such as Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Harbin, and Hong Kong (Kowloon).

The South Station is seen as the south gate of the city center. Trains from there mainly leave for Guiyang, Changsha, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nanchang, and other cities.

Hongqiao Railway Station is the newest station in Shanghai. It operates high speed and bullet trains only.

West Railway Station mainly operates bullet trains to/from Kunshan, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang, Huishan, Hefei, and Nanjing.

A second class seat costs CNY144 per ticket, CNY237 for first class seat and CNY444 for business class seat. Hope this information can help you.

If you take subway line 2 directly (with a transfer at Guanglan Rd.), it takes around 90min ideally. The price should be CNY9 per person.

If you use meglav to Longyang Rd first, it can cut the trip a little shorter. The one way ticket for this meglav is CNY50 per person （CNY40 if you can show a flight ticket for that day). The meglav runs around every 15-20min. From Longyang Rd, it would be CNY5 per person by subway line 2 to Hongqiao airport.

From Shanghai how to to Binzhou by bullet train

Answers (1)

Answered by Polly | Jul. 09, 2017 21:29

There is no direct rail service for this trip or bullet rail service in Binzhou. You may take a ride to Jinan first and then from Jinan to Binzhou.
