Hard to find the cab rank - had to walk for ages and it was underground. Boarding a train is very efficient and even though it is crowded having a seat reserved works very well.

This is a nice & clean station. Easy to follow signs, you can access the Metro & airport from there. We took the bullet train from Hangzhou to this station with no problems.

Easy to navigate, clean, well maintained with LOTS of shops and restaurants. The rail station is conveniently located adjacent a subway station so you can get off the bullet train and onto the #10 train from which you can transfer to other subway lines.

Best station in the world. In one place , you have connection to the whole of China. Means you can go by train or by plane. Trains are on time , like a Switss watch, and you can not say always for the plane.

Went by train from Beijing to Shanghai. Not a bad experience at all! We took the fast train and paid only $475 for 2 adults and one child round trip. When we arrived at the railway station it was very clear where to go for taxis, where the toilets were, and which gate was which. The only thing odd was... More

An impressive and huge train station. Long queues of more than 30 people buying tickets on the day we travelled to Hangzhou for the day. It was a holiday weekend so this may have added to the waiting times. The crowds seemed frustrated at times. Leave plenty of time for waiting and finding your way round. Trains leave on time... More

Most sophisticated railway station ever seen in the world. Very well connected to both the airports in Shanghai by Metro. Almost bigger than an airport. It has lot of facilities including shopping.

China is so lucky to have a new set of train stations and airports. Big and bright and with excellent information boards; wonderful! BUT, I wonder if administrators will ever get serious about the smoking plague and the blind-eye approach to this public drug addiction.. The non-smoking rules (generally) work in the open areas of the stations. But, in the... More
