Beijing to Shanghai

You should go to the Beijing South Railway Station.
From Wangfujing, you can take subway line 1 to Xidan, and change to line 4 to Beijing South Railway Station. It takes about 40 minutes.
If by taxi, it takes at least 35 minutes (if there is no traffic jam) and costs about CNY 30.

From Beijing South to Shanghai, you can travel by the high-speed rail (G types), and it takes 5 - 6 hours and costs CNY 553 for second class seat and CNY 933 for first class seat.

Thank you! Do you think it is a good idea to visit to Shanghai? Our travel dates are from September 3-9, 2014, Manila to Beijing. Thank you!

Yes, it is a good idea to visit Shanghai, and it is vey convenient to traval from Beijing to Shanghai by high-speed rail.

Thank you! Can we purchase tickets on the railway station on the same day we are travelling or do we need to purchase in advance?

i suggest that you book the ticket at least one day in advance.

If we would like to book the (Beijing-Shanghai and Shanghai-Beijing) train in advance, can we do it via this website (www.travelchinaguide.com)? How do we pay and claim the tickets? Thank you! :)

You can book via TravelChinaGuide.com. They are one of the bests in booking tickets. As I know, they accept PayPal, Master card, or visa card. After booking with them, you can either have the tickets delivered to your Chinese address like a hotel or pick them up by your selves at the station.
