which train station should I travel from Shanghai (Shanghai Hongqiao or Shanghai station)?

If there are suitable schedules, Shanghai railway Station and HZ railway station are prefer as they are more closer to city center.

However, Hongqiao Railway Station has more high-speed trains to HZ, and the schedule is dense. You can easily take a train upon your arrival, and don’t need to wait for so long. Subway line 2 can lead you there directly.

In HZ, most hig-speed trains stop at East Railway Station, and subway line 1 there can take you downtown.
