Hangzhou - Nanjing Train

Currently, there are over 120 pairs of trains operated daily between Hangzhou / Hangzhou South / Hangzhou East Railway Station and Nanjing / Nanjing South Railway Station. About 100 more pairs of them are high speed types with duration of 1 hour to 4 hours. The rest 16 pairs or so are normal types with duration of 4.5 hours to 8 hours.

Bullet trains are much more popular for this short trip due to its frequency and short travel time. It makes a one-day-tour easier between two cities. Thus, travelers are recommended to choose this type of ride. However, they do not run in late night, which means bullet overnight sleeper trains are not available. As a complementarity, some non-bullet types with sleepers are still reasonable for passengers who need to depart during mid-night.

High Speed Trains

Most of these rides run between Hangzhou East Railway Station and Nanjing South Railway Station. Although fewer rides are available at Hangzhou/ Hangzhou South Station and Nanjing Station, they are good choices as located closer to the city center; travelers can take them into consideration as well if the schedule fits.

There are totally 16 pairs of normal rides between. However, they are not recommended options except for these travelers who have to travel during mid-night for flight connection.

All the rides are operated at Nanjing Railway Station. But in Hangzhou, they are operated at two different stations. Double check your ticket to make sure to get on or off at the right one.

As most of the rides just stop for a few minutes at the related stations, it is recommended to pay more attention to the broadcast in order to make preparation for getting off in advance. If you are not sure whether your destination is approaching or not, you may show your paper ticket to the staff or local passengers around you for help.

Hangzhou to Nanjing to Shanghai

We will stay 2 days in each city and plan to use fast trains to travel between. We are wondering if we can and should collect tickets for both trains at first station?

Answers (1)

Answered by TravelChinaGuide | Oct. 28, 2019 17:51

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, you can collect tickets for all trips together at same station as long as you offer ticket counter the pickup numbers for both trips. If your schedule are fixed, you are recommended to collect tickets for both trips together to avoid the same trouble for second trip. If you may need to make amendment to your tickets, it would be better if you collect them one by one on the day of travel. Once you collected paper tickets out, we will not able to make any online change or cancellation for you.

How long will it take at Nanjing South Station to catch the next one to Wuhu?

How do I know which platform to go to take the second train?

Answers (1)

Answered by Watts from UNITED KINGDOM | Oct. 31, 2018 00:06

Usually 30min is possible, but if with heavy luggage, it may takes longer time. You cannot go from one platform to another platform directly. After your arrival, you need to use the transfer passage to back to the waiting room/hall instead. Then find the checkin gate for your next trip. Then checkin again.
