On the Shanghai to Meishan route, the fastest option uses a G-series Fuxing high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao to Chengdu East, followed by a CRH C/D intercity train to Meishan East (眉山东). The G-series segment runs up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) on the eastern high-speed corridors, with several stretches west of Wuhan limited to about 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and short mountainous sections near Yichang–Wanzhou around 160 km/h (99 mph). Typical timings are about 10–11 hours to Chengdu East, plus roughly 30–50 minutes onward to Meishan East, with limited stops. In comparison, classic T/Z/K overnight trains between Shanghai and Chengdu operate at about 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and take around 30–36 hours before a short regional or intercity hop to Meishan (add 1–2 hours depending on the connection). The Chengdu–Meishan leg is covered by CRH C/D services on the Chengdu–Leshan intercity line, usually 200–220 km/h (124–137 mph), calling at a few intermediate stations such as Xinjin. G-series Fuxing trains offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, while the C/D intercity segment provides Second and First Class. Conventional services feature seated cars plus hard/soft sleeper berths. Travelers prioritizing speed should choose the G + C/D combination; those aiming to save on accommodation time may prefer the overnight sleeper to Chengdu.
