High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Guangdenan route typically run from Shanghai Hongqiao to Guangde South (Guangde Nan), most often via Hangzhou East. G-series Fuxing services operate at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the Shanghai–Hangzhou High-Speed Railway and the Hefei–Hangzhou High-Speed Railway, with fastest journeys around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on stops. Some timetables include a same-station transfer at Hangzhou East, while selected schedules run through without a change. In comparison, D-series Hexie trains cover the same corridor at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and usually make more regional stops, bringing total travel time to roughly 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes. Both train types offer Second and First Class seating, with Business Class available on selected G services. Onboard you can expect assigned seats, air conditioning, power outlets, clean restrooms, and a trolley for drinks and snacks. Travelers prioritizing the shortest time should choose the G-series Fuxing, while the D-series Hexie suits those looking for broader station coverage along the route.
