It's a railway station.
Jun 2021
Why is this even listed? It's a railway station that's mostly oppressively busy. If you need to use it, then that's what you do. Anything else is just wasted space. The metro lines get uncomfortably cramped during rush-hour. Avoid it at these times if you can, and just grin-and-bear it if you can't.

Big, big beautiful modern station

This big modern railway station is near Hongqiao airport and is the main station for high speed railway. Metro lines 2, 10 and 17 interchange here. We used this station several times during our visit to Shanghai.

You have to try the bullet trains!
Jan 2020 • Family
Another amazing station, the cleanliness and organisation of these Chinese station are the next level. We took the subway when we got off the bullet train to our hotel. So the a access to the subway is super easy. We booked our tickets through China Highlights. Highly recommend them for foreigners as everything is organised when you arrive to the station. You only need your passport and your email, the security is great. Try the bullet train, highly recommend.

Station opposite to paradise walk
Sep 2020 • Business
A huge station connecting to many cities in China. It's situated in a good location where there are many hotels and restaurants also opposite to paradise walk. The train station is close to the airport and National exhibition And conventional center.

Larger than large, efficient, and user friendly

It was conveniently located for my use. I have never seen so many high speed trains in one area. This place is amazing, beautiful, and Chinese massive. The Chinese build so many things to be the world’s best. This is another example.

Bullet train Shanghai to Xian
Apr 2017 • Couples
Amazingly easy to travel on the bullet train. Advice was to arrive one hour before departure to allow for security. We got through in about 5 minutes so had time to look around the station (although in the summer queues may be longer I don't know). It's like an airport with departures and departure gates listed on a big screen. You queue up at your designated gate number and they start to board about 15 minutes before departure. They stop people going through the gate 3 minutes before departure so if you are running late you do have time pretty much up to the departure time. On walking through the gate you hand your ticket to the conductor or put it through automated machines then you go down an escalator where the train is clearly marked with the carriage letter and the train number and destination- it would be pretty impossible to get the wrong train in my view. All signs are in English as well as Chinese. We booked first class tickets and were glad as the second class was very full and seats were smaller. In first class the seat has a foot rest and reclines - very comfortable. Also you have a hostess who gives you a bottle of drink (coke, orange or water) and a small lunch box with a roll, and a couple of snacks in them - not massive but ok. There is also hot water available constantly - the Chinese use it for their tea. But we brought some instant coffee sachets (Nescafé 2+1) which had milk included so we had coffee which was good. As you journey through there is a display showing the next station but they also announce the next station coming up in English and Chinese. Absolutely recommend this way of travelling around China. Easy, smooth and you see some interesting sights too. There is a socket for charging your phone in the seat. The stations and trains are immaculately clean as well.

Disappointed
Oct 2017 • Family
Shanghai should have top of the class railway station. The information counter staff are busy chatting on their phones or playing videogame. Hardly anyone speak English and all lounges are expensive serving cookies a business and instant coffee for the price of a buffet meal at Hilton hotel. No lounge hostess speaks English. In the catering floor there is plenty of free space and more seating could be provided.. WC are filthy and mostly out of order and all WC for disabled people are turned into store by the cleaners. Shanghai deserves better facilities because from the tourism point of view the entry and exit doors to a country are the first and last impression a foreigner will have

High speed train Changzhou to Shanghai
Oct 2012 • Business
very comfortable train, especially in first class, all trains are always full - so important to book train seats well in advance, passport ID required to buy tickets. mobile refreshments service and bar, but always crowded. do not be late as nearly always on time and 2 mins to load.

Not a tourist attraction
Feb 2013 • Family
The fact that this is (at the time of writing) the no.1 "attraction" in Shanghai shows an inherent limitation with the way Tripadvisor handles these listings.

Hongqiao Railway station is OK under the following circumstances :

1. You need to catch a train that departs from this station.

It is NOT OK under the following circumstances
1. You like seeing anything interesting and worth seeing in a city (this opened 3 years ago and has no personality)
2. You like trains (you can't see any unless you are actually getting on one)
3. You like railway stations (this doesn't even look like one from the inside or the outside).

I can only conclude that so many people rate this highly on the basis of the fact that they were relieved that their train actually departed from this station or that they were surprised that they were actually able to get a taxi driver to take them here.

Do not, under any circumstances, make the mistake of assuming that this is worth visiting for any other reason than of actually catching a train.....
