About:How to Choose China Train Ticket Types?

Shanghai airport to Shanghai Rail Station to Nanjing

I have a client that will land at Shanghai around 14:00 and catch a cab to the station to catch a train to Nanjing. Which station would he go to and how long should he allow? Also, is there a way to buy the ticket now (for April) and get the tickets before he leaves the US so he'll have them on him? Thank you, Gail

Hi, he can go to the Hongqiao railway station to take a high speed one or D one to Nanjing. And you can buy the tickets online 20 days before departure, when they will be released.

Thank you for your answer, but how long does it take to get to the station at 1500 hours? If you buy them online, can you pick them up at the station? Thanks again, Gail

G train will take you about 80 minutes. From the Pudong airport to the Hongiqao rail station by subway line 2 will take you about 2 hrs. From the hongqiao airport to the Hongqiao rail station will cost you about 20 min by subway 10.

I suppose you client land on Pudong international airport. He or she better go to Hongqiao railway station by a cab or subway line 2. Subway line 2 takes 2 hours while a taxi take less time (still more than 1 hour I think), and it cost RMB200+. You can buy a high speed railway ticket to Nanjing or Nanjing South station on the 12306.cn 20days before you trip. The train's departure time is better 3 hour after landing of the flight. However, the 12306.cn apply only Chinese language, for this you may have to turn to your Chinese friends.Or you client can buy the ticket on the counter at the Hongqiao station, this is possible except some special situation(for example, on national holiday).
