Jeff CleverleyOctober 11, 2014If you're gonna travel regularly on the Nanjing to Shanghai express train, I recommend getting one of these Quickpasses. Charge it up and avoid the ticket queues, reserved seating carriage 6, rows 1-4

Leave just enough time to catch your train but not too much so that you're stay around waiting. It doesn't feel clean nor good for your health to loiter.
The ticket office is an absolute fuck show. About 300m from the entrance, it has its own security check, & the workers aren’t helpful, even WITH speaking Mandarin. Pick up your tickets somewhere else.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
minzyiiiMarch 16, 2015inconvenient,i bought tix online but the collect point is across the street at the next building. busy place, go early to avoid rush
Since the creation of South and Hongqiao station, this one has essentially been left to its own devices. Everything about it, including the people; feels like you’ve stepped back in time 20 years.
Dave McMarch 31, 2023You’re supposed to use your ID to exit, I don’t know why, but if you go over to the disabled door, the guy will let you out without waiting in the giant line for the ID reader.
Jono HaysomNovember 4, 2014One of the better mass railways stations in China. Right in the heart of the city.
JKOctober 12, 2015Please book your ticket in advance. Otherwise you will be catching the one few hours later
Kinda dumpy in 2024, and that intercom announcing the train departures is just pure noise pollution. Convenient to get to and from Jing’an district however.- Modern-traditional architecture, central, well-equipped but crowded. Connected by metro, but navigation and peak times are challenging.
- Great fruit store. Easy for when you get the munchies on the train
Joe LambertJuly 15, 2014If you commute, or take the G train often, ask about the 中铁银通卡. You can simply scan it to get on the G trains without buying a ticket, with some restrictions.
Very comfortable station, so many things to eat you can buy inside! Love it
Get one free bottle of drinking water while presenting your ticket at the entrance of waiting rooms.
Crowded as well, but the Shanghai Metro station is very convenient, take line 1 to People's Square!
Nick KFebruary 13, 2016Buy tickets online from "China Train" app and then easy exchange it into ticket at ticket counter. With foreign passport you can't use auto system to get ticket 😞
amuroDecember 19, 2017Avoid the guys offering to provide rides. Just go outside and grab a cab or Didi. Way more reasonable price.
Lexandra HeinigerDecember 17, 2014If you were told that all the tickets you need are sold out, try to go to another train station and buy there! Happened to me many times😁
Social News NetworkJuly 16, 2013Travelers should be sure to bring extra yuan. Travelers have reported that a lot of the ATMs in the station are out of order. I ran into the same problem myself in late June.- Francois St-ArnaudSeptember 26, 2011Ticket office across the street from the station. English-speaking teller #10.
If you're foreigner, you have to go ticket office(nearby 2nd gate) for buying a train ticket. You need to have passport.
Lucho ZúnigaAugust 1, 2013In general is with good signs and lounges by numbers. Is not so dificult to get your train.
- Alex LeeJanuary 5, 2014Connect to the wi-fi i-station, you can check train information without your mobile data.
D' LuffyDecember 1, 2012Ticket booth for foreign (no national ID) people is about 200m from the station. Better have your proper ID (i.e. Passport), or else you can't buy a ticket.
Worth have a smart phone with data plan enabling the use of Google translate for the purpose of purchasing train tickets
If you have heavy luggages and still don't have tickets, just forget about this station and go to Honqiao!
Don't trust anybody offering to help you. This place is scammer heaven.
- Mike KleinebeckerAugust 12, 2016SRWS Free Wifi if you have Chinese Mobile to receive confirmation code.
Now you can pay with an ICBC card at the self-service ticket selling machine.
Line 1 is in the south, while Line 3&4 is in the north. Take 1,3 to Shanghainan
Dutch SimpsonJune 18, 2011if you're editing video on the train, make sure your laptop is charged - no outlet onboard!
Now they are asking for original passport. Copy does not works anymore
Nam Nắn NótNovember 3, 2016Tàu cao tốc Thượng Hải-Tô Châu 45 tệ/ng tốc độ 300km/h đi tầm 27 phút.Nói chung là rất rất đông,phải chuẩn bị tinh thần vừa kéo vali vừa chạy để kịp lên tàu.
沪宁、沪京线可直接刷身份证。 DO NOT eat at HuiWei inside the station, their noodles have a strong taste of detergent!!!!
