Shanghai to Yixiandong Train
High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Yixiandong route are typically operated as G-series services under China Railway High-speed, using Fuxing EMUs (CR400/CR300) or Hexie sets (CRH380/CRH2). Seating options include Second Class, First Class, and Business Class. Most itineraries begin at Shanghai Hongqiao.
The quickest option runs G-series high-speed from Shanghai Hongqiao toward Huangshan North via Hangzhou East, with top operating speeds of about 250–300 km/h (155–186 mph). This leg usually takes around 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours depending on stops. The final segment to Yixiandong is completed on a shorter regional/high-speed link where line speeds are lower, typically 160–250 km/h (99–155 mph). When connections align, total travel time comes in around 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours, with limited intermediate stops on the high-speed portion.
Some departures use slightly slower D-series high-speed trains over parts of the corridor, running at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and making more stops, which can add 30–60 minutes overall. Conventional Z/T/K services cover portions of the route at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and generally take much longer, often requiring a change near Huangshan. High-speed trains offer reserved seating, air conditioning, power outlets, and hot water dispensers, while conventional trains provide Hard/Soft Seat and Sleeper options.
