Although it's just a short travel, you'd better choose Z types or T types which take less time compared with K types. If you choose K types, you'd better buy a sleeper which is more comfortable because the carriages for hard seats are crowded, especially during the holidays and its environment is not that good.
 

Coach

What's more, you can also take a coach to travel between the two cities and it takes about 3 hours or so. But it is not as comfortable as a high speed rail ride.

Asked by Phil from UNITED KINGDOM | Oct. 23, 2019 05:13Reply
I will be looking to travel from Hongqiao to Yiwu by train. Is it better to pre-book a ticket?
I'll have to get to Hongqiao from Pudong airport so timing isn't going to be exact.

If you are flexible with arrival time in Yiwu, you can buy a ticket at station after your arrival. If not, you can pre-order ticket online. Like you side, some delay may occurs so it is safer if you prepare longer time between the two transfer. If you missed the train booked, I heard you can change to other later one with no charge. Surely, wish this back up is not necessary for you :)

If you do not mind using city bus, you can try to find bus No. 801 or 802 near the station to reach Trade Center directly, the 16th or 17th stop. If by taxi, it should be within 30min. You can always find a taxi near station.

The stopovers can be different for each rides. But when one destination is approaching, there will be both English and Chinese posted on the LED screen in carriage. You can read it.
