On the Shanghai to Guangyuan route, travelers typically choose between a fast high-speed combination with a transfer and slower direct conventional services. The high-speed option usually involves taking a G-series high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao to a major hub such as Xi’an North, then continuing on a D-series service along the Xi’an–Chengdu high-speed line toward the Guangyuan area (often alighting at Jianmenguan within Guangyuan). The fastest mix uses G-series Fuxing sets on the Shanghai–Xi’an leg at up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph), followed by D-series trains on mountainous sections at up to 250 km/h (155 mph). With a single transfer, the overall journey is typically about 9 to 11.5 hours, with limited stops. High-speed trains offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, power outlets, and trolley service. Direct classic services (T/Z/K-series) run from Shanghai or Shanghai South to Guangyuan’s main station without transfers, but they are much slower, taking roughly 22 to 28 hours at up to 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and making many intermediate stops. These trains provide Hard/Soft Sleeper and Hard Seat classes, plus a dining car, suiting travelers who prefer an overnight, no-transfer ride.
