What is the main train route from Suzhou?

The busiest rail route from Suzhou is the Shanghai-Nanjing corridor, especially Suzhou to Shanghai by China Railway high-speed and intercity trains. G, D, and C services use Suzhou Railway Station, Suzhou North, and other city stations depending on the departure. Typical Suzhou to Shanghai Hongqiao journeys take about 25 to 40 minutes, making this the main short-distance rail market from the city.

What are the main train stations in Suzhou?

Suzhou Railway Station is the central station for many Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed and intercity services. Suzhou North Railway Station serves the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and many long-distance G trains.
