Photographer’s Note

Dedicated to Isabella who has celebrated(!) her 3rd year in TE.



Shanghai Railway Station generally serves north-south and westward locations. It is the terminus of the main Beijing-Shanghai railway line and offers up to eight Z (non stop, deluxe) trains each day.

All trains bound for Jiangsu Province (including the cities of Suzhou, Wuxi and Nanjing) and the North (i.e. north of the Yangtse River) depart from Shanghai Station. A few through trains from the north to the south of China also use this station as an intermediate stop. Most trains for Zhejiang and the South depart from Shanghai South Railway Station.

In addition to this there are T trains (high speed trains that only stop at main stations) to Dalian, Beijing, Urumqi, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Xian, Lanzhou, Jinan, Tongling, Tianjin, Taizhou and Ningbo. K trains (fast) serve Guiyang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Kunming, Wuhan, Yinchuan, Xining, Nanchang, Zhanjiang, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Yichang, Chongqing, Fuyang, Shenyang, Shijiazhuang, Baotou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Harbin, and Jilin.

The train which takes longest to reach its destination is the T52 (which becomes T53 after Xuzhou) departing at 20:38; it takes 47 hours and 13 minutes to reach Urumqi. The shortest journey is to Kunshan, departing at 06:47 daily and taking only 26 minutes.
