Shanghai

Shanghai was the last part of our trip in China. We arrived late in the evening and our guide, Wini, waited to take us to the hotel. She was immediately very welcoming and friendly! In the next 2 days she made us appreciate the modern and ancient part of Shanghai, the beautiful ancient Chinese gardens of Souzhou and the romantic atmosphere of Tongli water village. She was very knowledgeable, professional and nice. We totally recommend visiting Shanghai with Wini!

Types of Trains in China

In China, trains are categorized by service and speed. Different letters indicate different types of the train.

G-Trains (high-speed trains) and D-Trains (bullet trains) are the latest, fastest, and most comfortable in China, reaching speeds over 180 km/h. The operation of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Trains reduces travel time between the two cities to just 5 hours.
Z-Trains, T-Trains, and C-Trains, traveling at speeds between 120 km/h and 170 km/h, are express trains in China. They are among the most valuable for saving time and cost, offering a range of seating options.
K-Trains are slower than Z-Trains and T-Trains, stopping at more stations and serving less well-known counties in China. Trains designated only by numbers are not recommended due to their slow speeds and poor equipment.

High-speed Train (G-, D-Trains) Speed > 180km/h

Express Train (Z-, T-, C- Trains) Speed > 120km/h

Fast Train (K-Train) Speed > 100km/h
