    It’s a really, really lot of people, but taking the high-speed train is so much more convenient than the airport! Pay attention to when they open the gate, you only have like 10 Min!!! 🚄

    There's both a paid shuttle or subway to the airport. You can also just walk inside to the airport if time allows

    You are better off buying your ticket with a travel agent. Need to pay an extra 20 rmb but worth it. No need to wait at the station. Always busy here.

    If you are on a day trip, driving and parking at P9 or P10 is a good options comparing to taxi.

    Well connected and guided in English. Make sure not to buy service from the people who sell it near the exit gate. You can get better service and price with your own.

    Starbucks red tea latte is pretty good here; but I’m sure it tastes the same from all other Starbucks too

    Pick up tickets inside, after security. If you don’t have a Chinese National ID card, you’ll show your passport/ID at the desk to the left of the automated ID turnstiles.

    Plan your trip well. Every steps you will do in this station, you have to que in line. Starting from the security check, buying ticket, etc; even from getting yourself a free bottled water!

    Are you in a hurry? You can actually take the earlier train which stops at your destination. Go thru the lady/guy checking the ticket. And tell them you are in a hurry. I just did, now..

    Huge, clean, easy to understand the way and your exit to platform. A lot of food here. If you're going south and want G-train - this is your station! 🚄

    Huge station only for express railways. It surely looks like an airport. Everything is big. Awesome view. Cant expect anything like this in Japan!

    If u wanna buy a ticket here, so you should have 2-3 hours before train. Anyway you can buy a ticket in small ticket places in Shanghai, but they can sell them only before close (around 5 p.m.).

    Book your tickets online to avoid the long queues, for non-residents you'd need to show identification/passport to purchase tickets

    Well organized station. Every time I come here, everything is good and on time. It's definitely better take a train than a plane.

    NEVER buy train ticket on spot. Today all the tickets to all destinations were sold out! Have to find another option to Hang Zhou. Bus station is at level B1.

    You need to get a ID check first. Foreigners probably need to ask the staff for check. Food is on the second floor. Starbucks in the first floor does not offer food heating.

    If you have a passport, find the passengers’ entrance gate at which an officer will check it. You won’t be able to use the automatic gates that accept Chinese IDs.

    If you wanna go to Hongqiao Airport, follow the subway signs and take the metro line 10. Terminal 2 is the first stop, terminal 1 is the second. It costs only RMB 3,00.

    Reserve enough time to get out, extra at rush-hour time. You can get a taxi in roughly 30mins.

    Big, bright train station. Long line-ups to buy or change tickets. Do not check ID when entering security like at some train stations, but always xray bags. Gates open 15 minutes before train leaves.
