Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway
Short enough to do as a day trip, frequent enough that you can decide on the morning of travel.
The two cities are close neighbours and the line between them is one of the most heavily used in the country. Most departures leave from Shanghai Hongqiao and arrive at Hangzhou East, which connects to the metro and to the taxi rank on the arrival level.
- Hangzhou East is a 20–30 minute metro ride from West Lake; the station itself is large, so allow ten minutes to walk from the platform to the exit.
- If you are staying near Shanghai Hongqiao, the airport and the railway station share the same complex.

Which station do you leave from?
Big Chinese cities have several stations, miles apart. The station on your ticket is the one you need — the city name alone is not enough.
FAQ
How long does the train from Shanghai to Hangzhou take?
The fastest service on this date takes 0h 34m. Slower trains on the same route take longer — the timetable above lists the actual duration for every departure, so sort by journey time if speed matters more than the hour you leave.
How much is a train ticket from Shanghai to Hangzhou?
Fares depend on the class you choose. Every quote on the results page shows the fare and our service fee separately.
Which station in Shanghai does the train leave from?
On this date, departures leave from Shanghai Songjiang and Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai South and Jinshan North and Liantang and Shanghai and Shanghai West. Large Chinese cities have more than one station and they are not within walking distance of each other, so check the station printed on your ticket rather than the city name.
Do I need to print a ticket?
No. Chinese railway tickets are issued against your passport, not a piece of paper. Carry the same passport you booked with, and staff will scan it at the gate. Keep the booking confirmation on your phone in case a conductor asks which seat is yours.
How far in advance can I book?
Chinese tickets are released about two weeks before departure, and this page only shows dates inside that window. Popular dates and holiday periods sell out early, so book as soon as your travel date appears.
Which class should I book?
Second class is the default on high-speed trains and is comparable to a short-haul airline seat. First and business class add space and recline for a premium. On overnight trains the choice matters more: a hard sleeper is a real bed, a hard seat is not. Our guide to seats and sleepers explains what each one actually looks like.
