The train was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with comfortable seats and plenty of space for luggage. The boarding process was organized and straightforward, and the train departed and arrived on time. The ride was also very smooth, making it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery along the way. Overall, it was an excellent travel experience and a very convenient way to travel between Nanjing and Shanghai. I would definitely recommend the high-speed train to anyone making this journey.

Nanjing South -> Shanghai Hongqiao ·
Entry and exit is via our passports, arrive an hour earlier to do the ID checks counter (manual lane -for passports)/clearance checks for bags. Easy to locate the counter for specific train - boarding time is usually 15mins before departure. Highly recommended to book first class but comfort level of the ride depends which train is assigned for the route-some are newer and cleaner, while some are old & not very clean.

Journey was good, fast speed train is needed for travelling between cities. However, I feel if you can afford, don't buy second class ticket, it's a chaos.
