Huangshan and Nanjing are two famous travel destinations boasting abundant cultural and natural resources. These two cities are well linked with Shanghai by train. Since 2018, high speed trains (G trains) were operated between Nanjing and Huangshan with several departures per day. Train travel time reduces to around 4 hours. The normal trains are still in service taking more than 7 hours. Hard sleeper or soft sleeper seats are suggested if budget allows.
G trains depart and arrive at Nanjing South Railway Station (南京南站) and Huangshan North Railway Station （黄山北）. While normal trains (K, T trains) are from Nanjing Station and to Huangshan Station. For independent travelers, it is suggested to read the tickets before the tour. If booking train tickets with ETripChina, we also specific the station and address both in Chinese and English via email.
