Hangzhou–Huangshan high-speed railway

The fast way to the Yellow Mountain — but the station is not at the mountain.

Trains run west from Shanghai through Hangzhou and into the hills. Huangshan North station serves the city of Huangshan, not the scenic area itself: there is still a bus or taxi ride to the cable cars.

Allow 40–60 minutes from Huangshan North to the mountain transfer point, and check the last cable-car time before you commit to an afternoon arrival.
Some trains continue to Huangshan West, which is closer to the western approach — the two stations are not interchangeable.

Which station do you leave from?

FAQ

How long does the train from Shanghai to Huangshan take?

The fastest service on this date takes 1h 59m. 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 Huangshan?

Second-class fares start at about $33 per passenger including our service fee. Second class is the standard choice; first class and business class cost more and buy wider seats, not a faster train. The quote page always shows the underlying local fare and our fee as separate lines.

Which station in Shanghai does the train leave from?

On this date, departures leave from Shanghai and Shanghai South and Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Songjiang and Liantang and Shanghai West and Jinshan North. 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.
