All high-speed G-series trains from Shanghai (most departing Shanghai Hongqiao) to Shangqiudong (Shangqiu East) offer Second Class, First Class, and Business Class seating. This route is operated by Fuxing EMUs (CR400AF/BF) and some Hexie sets (CRH380 series), both purpose-built for China’s high-speed network.
The fastest Fuxing services reach up to 350 km/h (217 mph) on eligible sections and complete the journey in about 3 hours 30 minutes with limited stops, typically calling only at major hubs such as Hangzhou East, Huzhou, Hefei South, and Fuyang West. Other G-series trains—often using Hexie sets running at 300–310 km/h (186–193 mph) or making more intermediate stops—take roughly 3 hours 50 minutes to 4 hours.
All services feature reserved seating, power outlets, air-conditioning, luggage racks, and a trolley or dining service; Business Class adds wider, near lie-flat seats and a quieter cabin. For the quickest timetable, select a Fuxing G train, while broader-stopping G services suit travelers connecting to more regional stations along the Shanghai–Hangzhou–Hefei–Shangqiudong corridor.
