On the Shanghai to Laibin route, high-speed options typically combine a G-series Fuxing service from Shanghai Hongqiao to Liuzhou or Nanning East with a D-series intercity train onward to Laibin North. The G-trains run up to around 300 km/h (186 mph) on the Shanghai–Kunming corridor via major hubs such as Hangzhou East, Nanchang West and Changsha South, while the Guangxi segments operate at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph). With a single change at Liuzhou or Nanning East, total travel time is usually about 9.5–11 hours. Seating is Second, First and Business Class on the G leg, and Second/First on the D leg, with power outlets and trolley service. Conventional overnight services (T/K/Z trains) link Shanghai South with Guangxi along the Xianggui Railway at top speeds of 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph). Some long-distance services continue through Laibin, while others require a short regional transfer at Liuzhou or Nanning. End-to-end travel is generally 20–26 hours, offering one-seat sleeper travel in Hard or Soft Sleeper, plus Hard/Soft Seat. Choose the high-speed combination for the quickest daytime trip; select a sleeper if you prefer an overnight schedule with a berth.
