On the Shanghai–Ningguo South (Ningguonan) corridor, high-speed services are the primary choice. G‑class high-speed trains—typically Fuxing (CR400 series) and Hexie (CRH380)—run from Shanghai Hongqiao to Ningguo South via Hangzhou East on the Hefei–Hangzhou high-speed line. These services operate at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) and usually take about 2 hours to 2 hours 40 minutes, depending on stops and whether a same-station change at Hangzhou East is needed. Seating includes Second, First, and Business Class, with power outlets and luggage racks. Key intermediate stops commonly include Hangzhou East and Xuancheng. D‑class high-speed trains on this route use similar EMUs but are capped at around 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph). They make more stops and often require a transfer at Hangzhou East, bringing total travel time to roughly 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes. Most D‑trains offer Second and First Class, with occasional Business Class sets. Conventional Z/T/K services run from Shanghai Railway Station to Ningguo (non‑South) at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph). They are slower—about 6 to 7.5 hours—but add options such as hard/soft seat and hard/soft sleeper. For the fastest arrival at Ningguonan itself, G‑class is the direct high-speed choice.
