The high speed railway between Shanghai and Taizhou consists of two parts, Shanghai - Hangzhou and Hangzhou - Taizhou respectively.

Shanghai - Hangzhou high speed railway has a distance as long as 169 km (105 mi). It is one part of Shanghai - Kunming High Speed Railway. It connects Shanghai and Hangzhou and sets up 6 stations along the line, namely, Songjiang, Jinshan, Jiashan, Tongxiang, Haining and Yuhang. The duration is about 50 - 90 minutes.

Shanghai - Taizhou New High Speed Railway

This new high speed railway is still on the government’s blueprint and has not been put into practice. The marvelous part of this railway is that a grand bridge will be built for bullet trains to cross the Hangzhou Bay, which will change the current situation that bullet trains need to make a detour in Hangzhou. Once it is constructed, the duration between Taizhou and Shanghai will be shortened to 1.5 hours, compared to the current 3 - 4 hours.

Questions & Answers on Shanghai to Taizhou Train

Asked by Cindy from USA | Mar. 19, 2024 03:06

how do I purchase luggage storage on the train

how do I purchase luggage storage on the train D5562

Answered by Randy | Mar. 21, 2024 20:26

Do you mean check in the luggage? I haven't heard about it before. Actually, China railway staff does not weigh the luggage and you can take them all onboard as long as there are not prohibited itmes inside.

If they think you cannot take them all onboard (I have traveled quite a few times by train in China and this never happened), they will tell you where to check in the luggage. In case you need to check in the luggage, go to the railway stations 2-3 hours before departure.

Inside the train, you can put your luggage on the luggage shelves above the seat or in the luggage cabin between two carriages.

Travel from Shanghai PVG Airport to Jiangsu Taizhou Taixing

Hello, could you please give a direction to go from Shanghai airport to Jiangsu Taizhou Taixing? Thank you so much.

There is no direct bus from the airport to Taixing. However, you can take a long-distance coach from Pudong Long-distance East Coach Station. The bus departs at 06:20, 07:50, 12:21, and 14:00. It takes about 3.5 hours to reach Taixing and costs CNY 85 per person.

From the Pudong Airport to the coach station, you can take Metro Line 2 to Longyang Rd. Station and then transfer to Metro Line 7 to Yuntai Rd. Station. Get out of the Exit 3 and walk about 500m to the Coach Station. The whole metro journey takes about 1.5 hours.

Which Taizhou?

What does [Jiangsu] and [Zhejiang] mean in the station menu? Different station?

Answers (1)

Answered by Tommy from AUSTRALIA | Jan. 17, 2019 18:25

They are not only different stations but totally different city. The schedule refers to the city in Zhejiang Province. There is no direct rail to the one in Jiangsu Province. You need to check which one is your destination. If you plan to go to the one in Jiangsu, you may need a bus instead or go to Nanjing first and then to Taizhou in Jiangsu.
