Departure Station: Huangshan North (黄山北)

All high-speed trains to Shanghai depart from Huangshan North Railway Station (Huangshanbei) . The station is the primary high-speed rail hub for the region, connecting to major cities across China.

A note on station names: Some trains also depart from Huangshan West Station (黄山西) , which opened in April 2024. Always verify your departure station on your ticket — the stations are not interchangeable. Huangshan North remains the main departure point for most Shanghai-bound trains.

Arrival Stations in Shanghai

Trains from Huangshan arrive at multiple stations across Shanghai:

Arrival Station	Advantage
Shanghai Hongqiao (上海虹桥)	Largest station, best transport connections
Shanghai South (上海南)	Convenient for downtown and southern Shanghai
Shanghai (上海站)	Central location
Shanghai Songjiang (上海松江)	Alternative for western Shanghai

Know before you go: Shanghai Hongqiao is the most frequent destination, but Shanghai South and Shanghai Station may be more convenient depending on your hotel location. Choose your train accordingly.
