We sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you handle our booking.
We have recommended your company to others because of our satisfaction with your service.
We are looking forward to our next trip to Shanghai and Yiwu and will definitely use your service again.
Everything was OK.
The only thing is maybe greater explanation about which station departing Shanghai.
Overall, I would recommend the service, especially for international travellers. To be honest, it is very difficult to book tickets by yourself, especially if you do not know any Chinese, so such help is much appreciated. The fee is worth the spending, especially when you value time and you don`t want to spend three hours in line to purchase tickets. All the trains were on time, we had very good seats and we had no problem to travel, whatsoever. We were impressed by how modern and well developed were all the train stations (Shanghai, Pingyao and Xian). Thank you once again, and have a good day....More
Not really anything to add besides positive compliments for the service offered.
We will surely use your company again.

There are around 50 high speed rides a day from Hongqiao Railway Station to Ningbo taking 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The earliest one departs from Hongqiao Station at 6am and the last ride is at 8:35pm. 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 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.
