High-speed G-series trains on the Shanghai to Xianyang route operate via Shanghai Hongqiao and connect to Xi’an North (Xi’anbei), followed by a short intercity transfer into Xianyang. Fuxing (CR400) and Hexie (CRH380) sets run at up to 300 km/h (186 mph), with limited sections permitted at 350 km/h (217 mph). Typical timings are about 5 hours 50 minutes to 6 hours 40 minutes to Xi’an North, plus 15–30 minutes on the Xi’an–Xianyang Intercity Railway toward stations in Xianyang. Key high-speed stops commonly include Nanjing South, Xuzhou East, Zhengzhou East, and Luoyang Longmen. Seating options are Second, First, and Business Class. By contrast, direct conventional Z/T/K trains run overnight from Shanghai Station to Xianyang, reaching up to 160 km/h (99 mph) on legacy tracks and taking roughly 15–18 hours with more intermediate stops. High-speed services provide modern coaches with power outlets and trolley or dining car service; conventional services offer Hard/Soft Sleeper berths and seats. Travelers seeking the quickest daytime trip usually choose the G-series plus the intercity transfer, while those preferring a no-change night ride opt for the direct sleeper to Xianyang.
