Shanghai - Shenyang Train

There are 6 pairs of bullet trains running between Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station and Shenyang/ Shenyang North Railway Station. The 1,884 – 1,964 kilometers (1,171 – 1,220 miles) journey is finished within 9.5 – 11 hours. It costs CNY 780 - 866 per person for a second class seat. 3 pairs of normal trains take 18.5 – 27.5 hours for a distance of 2,014 – 2,110 kilometers (1,251 – 1,311 miles). A hard sleeper costs CNY 428 per person at most.

Direct flights are available between the two cities as well. A single trip takes about 2.5 hours, which saves a lot of time compared with a high speed rail trip. An economy class seat may just costs CNY 400 when the airlines provide great discounts. However, passengers will have a wide leg room when traveling by high speed train.
