Shanghai to Benxi Train
High-speed options from Shanghai to Benxi are typically a two-leg journey: G-series Fuxing trains depart Shanghai Hongqiao and run up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) on the Beijing–Shanghai and Beijing–Shenyang high-speed corridors, then a short transfer at Shenyang or Shenyang South connects to the Shenyang–Dandong high-speed line for Benxi East, which operates at up to 250 km/h (155 mph). With limited stops on the long-haul segment—often at hubs such as Nanjing South, Xuzhou East, Jinan West, Tianjin South or Beijing South—end-to-end travel is usually about 9 to 10.5 hours depending on the connection.
By comparison, classic overnight Z/T services (conventional rail) cover much of the same route at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and take roughly 20 to 24 hours, often requiring a change at Shenyang for the final leg to Benxi. High-speed G-series trains offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, power outlets, and trolley service, while conventional sleepers provide Hard/Soft Sleeper berths and a buffet car. For a more premium experience, Business Class on Fuxing features wide recliners that can convert to lie-flat seats.
