Only these two pairs of normal types run between the two cities currently. They cost less than the bullet types, but the environment is not as good as that of bullet types. They are also not as punctual as bullet types.
If you are going to travel by any of them, a sleeper will be better because the hard seats are not comfortable, and the carriages for hard seats are rather crowded, especially during holidays when thousands of people will travel by rail. The carriages for sleepers are quieter and you can have a good rest during the night. In this case, you can be energetic to travel around in day.

ReplyTrain G99 from Shanghai to Shenzhen
I see on your website that G99 runs 8 hours, 3 to 4 hours faster than other trains. Is this the fastest new train? What is the difference?
Answers (1)
Answered by TravelChinaGuide | May. 15, 2019 17:4200Reply
00ReplyThank you for your inquiry.
Yes, this G99 is the newest and fastest high speed rides. It can run a top speed 350km/h. It runs along Hangzhou, Changsha, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen and finally reach HK. It runs a different route with other D rides, so the ticket price is also different. If you want to experience a faster ride, you can try with this G99!

ReplyHOW AND WHERE TO BOOK FOR TRAIN TICKET TO SHANGHAI
Answers (1)
Answered by Inka | Jul. 19, 2018 02:2700Reply
00ReplyYou can choose to use an online booking service and book the ticket in advance. Then you only need to collect the paper ticket at station ticket counter. Or you need to go to the railway station in person and buy the paper ticket there directly. By the way, I also heard some ticket offices can offer this service too. If you are in mainland now, you may also the local people to see if there is such office nearby.
