Hangzhou to Nanjing Map

Plan your trip between Hangzhou and Nanjing via the high-speed transport network. The travel route utilizes the Nanjing-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway. Most trains depart from Hangzhou East and travel north through Huzhou and Yixing before entering Jiangsu. This line is part of the larger regional rail system in China, providing access to dozens of daily departures. Maps show the path cutting through the scenic Jiangnan region landscapes.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail travel provides direct city-center connections between Hangzhou East and Nanjing South, avoiding the long wait times of airports. Since the cities are relatively close, there are no direct flights. Buses take significantly longer due to highway traffic, whereas high-speed trains maintain consistent schedules regardless of weather. The rail option is the most time-efficient method for this corridor.
