is there a fast train from shanghai to hong kong ?

Question

I and 3 others are with a tourist group who is going to be in Shanghai in July We would like to go from Shanghai to HK for a few days. I know I can get flights which are a little over two hours. I have read that the regular train takes about 19 hours from Shanghai. Is there a fast train we could take? It so, about how long would it take and about how much would it cost.

I am afraid that only ordinary trains are available for the route. It takes about 19 hours. Hence, direct flight can be the best way!

Thank you for replying to the question about the fast train from Shanghai to HK. I have another question. I know the new airport is some distance from the downtown area and the most reasonable hotels in HK seem to be near the airport. If we stay in a hotel near the airport, about how long would it take us to get to Star Ferry? Is there a metro from the airport to Star Ferry?Or in what area could we stay which would have reasonable priced hotels and be about half-way from the airport and from town. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

1. From HKIA, take Airport Express to get to HK Station first. The ticket fare is 100 HKD per person. It takes around 25 mins on the way. Then walk northeast around 580 yards (530 meters) to arrive at the Star Ferry in Central. 2. As I know, Nathan Road has several nice and budget hotels. Most of them provides clean environment and kind service. Casa Hotel is recommended. The price is about 500 HKD per night. And the surrounding environment is convenient. The address is No.487-489 Nathan Road. Hope you like.
