Rating

Rail travel provides city-center to regional-town connections and often reduces total transfer time compared with flights that require airport transfers. Buses run direct but take significantly longer and may operate overnight; flights shorten airborne time but add time for check-in and transfers to Furongzhen-area stations. For most door-to-door itineraries between Shanghai and Furongzhen, rail offers the best balance of station access and predictable schedules.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
