Yes, you are right, there are two train stations in both Shanghai and Hangzhou. Most trains from Shanghai to Hangzhou departure from Shanghai South Railway Station because Hangzhou is to the south of Shanghai. So if you are going to Hangzhou, Shanghai South Railway Station is better.
There are two railway stations in Hangzhou as well, Hangzhou Railway Station and Hangzhou East Railway Station. Compared with Hangzhou Railway Station which is the main train station of Hangzhou, Hangzhou East Railway Station is much smaller. As it is located in the east side of the city, Hangzhou East Railway Station is a bit far from the city centre as well as the West Lake.
Enjoy your trip!

Thank you much for that imformative blog post.
Thanks for the timetable information. I plan to take the D train from Shanghai South to Hangzhou in November.
Do they timetables change for the weekend at all? Or is it the same every day?
Also, do I need to book tickets for this train?
The train timetable doesn’t change for the weekend. It is the same everyday although it may have some slight changes every few months or a year.
If you travel during the weekend from Shanghai to Hangzhou, you’d better buy your tickets in advance as many Shanghainese love to have a weekend off in Hangzhou.
Enjoy your trip!
Where can I book the CRH ticket in advance?
this info is great, how about D train from shanghai to suzhou, it is also from the same train station and is there a way to find out the timetable? thanks in advance.
The train to Suzhou is from Shanghai Railway Station because Suzhou is on the north of Shanghai. Currently there is no best way to find out the timetable except you go to the ticket office. Most online system (Chinese only) can not update the information on real time, but it can be for reference.
We have just booked a ticket from Shanghai to Hangzhou. At the main booking office at the Shanghai station use window 10 (has an English speaking officer). The office is not in the underground station.
Thanks, Reg, for this useful information.

We will be flying into Shanghai on 9 April. From Airport we are planning to take a train to Hangzhou. Which railway station should we use?
Take train from Shanghai to Hangzhou, always go to South Shanghai Railway Station.

How far is Shanghai south railway station from Pudong intl airport ?
I have read a few of the articles on your website now, and I really like your style of blogging. I added it to my favorites website list and will be checking back soon. Please check out my site as well and let me know what you think.
This is a really good post, but I was wondering how do I suscribe to the RSS feed?
I like information that you put into your work. Please do move forward with more like this.
Here you go: http://www.q2hoo.com/feed/. Thanks.
If by Taxi, I guess you will take more than one and half hour to go. However, you could take Airport Shuttle Bus from Pudong Airport to Shanghai South Railway Station. It will only cost you no more than RMB30. Here is my previous post for your information:
Where to Shuttle Bus Line 7 to Pudong Airport in Shanghai South Railway Station
Hi, Nicholas,
First, there is no bullet maglev train yet between Hangzhou and Shanghai. Now maglev line is still under discussion.
So you could take D trains (a.k.a CRH trains) to Shanghai, and it will take you at most one and half hour to bring you from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

I am trying to go from Suzhou to Yiwu and was planning to get the bullet train from Shanghai South. Looking at the train timetables from Suzhou to Shanghai South none seem suitable. Is there a bus from Suzhou to Shanghai South Station and does anyone know the timetable? Thank you.
Hi Robyn,
From Shanghai South Station, there are several buses to Suzhou daily, and long distance coach bus station is not far away from Shanghai South Station too. It is about 5 to 10 minute walk distance.
Bus frequency to Suzhou is about 20 minutes interval starting from 06:27, However, different bus will bring you to different location in Suzhou, please check out when you buy your ticket.
By the way, you could go from Shangha Railway Station to Suzhou by bullet trains too. If possible to you, then check Shanghai to Suzhou D train Schedule for your plan.
Thank you. I found the info very helpful to my trip to HZ.
