I am planning a trip to china in November and would like to take the bullet train going from Shanghai to Beijing. Do you know how much will cost? How much time will take?

It takes around 8hrs by bullet train D316 from Shanghai to Beijing. Since July 1st, 2011, there are also high-speed trains operating on the route, which takes about 5hrs. About the ticket price, it varies from different seat. You can search it on the website by yourself.
