Rating

High-speed rail between Shanghai and Wenzhou connects city-center stations with frequent departures and predictable travel times, reducing overall door-to-door time compared with buses and many flights. Buses offer lower fares but take significantly longer and follow highway routes; flights have short airborne times but require airport transfers and check-in. For direct city-to-city travel along the Zhejiang coast, high-speed rail is generally the faster public transport option.

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