High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Yuncheng route provide reserved seating in Second, First, and Business Class, offering a modern option for this cross-province journey. The fastest high-speed itinerary typically uses G-series CR400 Fuxing trains between Shanghai Hongqiao and Zhengzhou East or Xi'an North at up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph), then continues to Yuncheng North on the Datong–Xi'an passenger-dedicated line where services run up to 250 km/h (155 mph). This combination usually requires one same-station transfer and takes about 7.5–9 hours, depending on the connection and stops. In contrast, traditional Z/T/K services to Yuncheng (conventional station) run at up to 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and take roughly 16–20 hours, with more intermediate stops along the way. High-speed trains offer power outlets, clean restrooms, and a snack trolley, while classic trains provide Hard/Soft Sleeper berths, Hard Seat, a dining car, and hot water. Business Class on high-speed sets features wider reclining seats for a more premium ride.
