how long does it take from beijing to shanghai?

The Maglev only operates between Pudong Airport and Longyang Road, no service available between SH and Beijing. You can travel by air, high-speed train or bus instead.

Among them, I recommend the high-speed rain to you. At Beijing South Railway Station, there are many trains to take u to Hongqiao Railway Station. It will take around 5.5 hours on the way. It costs CNY553 for a second class seat and CNY933 for a first classs seat. You will love the high-speed train journey.
