Shangrao is an important rail junction in eastern Jiangxi, positioned between the Yangtze River Delta, Fujian, and central China. The city is served mainly by Shangrao Railway Station, where China Railway high-speed and conventional services meet. Its key role comes from the crossing of the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway and the Hefei-Fuzhou high-speed railway.
Trains from Shangrao include G-series high-speed trains, D-series EMU services, and some conventional K-series long-distance trains. Shangrao Railway Station handles both high-speed and regular rail traffic, so passengers should check the train number and station name when booking train tickets. There is no dedicated airport rail link for Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport, so rail passengers normally use Shangrao Railway Station and continue by road transfer.
