Shanghai to Xuchangbei Train
On the Shanghai to Xuchangbei route, two distinct services are relevant. China’s high-speed G‑series Fuxing trains link Shanghai Hongqiao with the Xuchang area via Nanjing South, Xuzhou East, and Zhengzhou East, running at 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph). These services terminate at Xuchang East, not Xuchangbei, and cover the trip in roughly 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes depending on stops. They offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, with power outlets and a quiet ride.
By contrast, Xuchangbei is served by classic Z/T/K conventional trains on the standard‑speed network across Anhui and Henan, with top speeds around 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph). These direct trains typically take about 8 to 11 hours from Shanghai and provide Hard/Soft Seat and Hard/Soft Sleeper options, suiting overnight travel.
For the shortest overall time, take a G‑series Fuxing to Xuchang East and make a short local transfer to Xuchangbei. For a one‑seat ride directly to Xuchangbei, choose a Z/T/K sleeper on the conventional line.
