Nanjing Railway Stations
Nanjing is a major transport hub for East China. It is the intersection of the National Jinghu (Beijing-Shanghai) Railway and Ningtong (Nanjing-Tongchuan) Railway. High-speed trains run direct to major cities all over the country, including Beijing (approximately 4.5 hrs), Shanghai (1.3 hrs), Suzhou (1 hr), Xi'an (11.5 hrs), Hangzhou (3 hrs) and Tianjin (3.5hrs). There are currently no bullet or high-speed trains that go directly to Harbin, therefore journey times are longer than to most destinations: Harbin (28 hrs), Changchun (26 hrs) and Shenyang (24hrs).

The city has two operational train stations, namely Nanjing Railway Station and Nanjing South Railway Station.

There are three different ways to book a train ticket in Nanjing: over the phone, online and at the ticket window. Tickets can be purchased over the telephone (9510 5195) up to 4-12 days in advance.

The main station, Nanjing Railway Station is located in the northern suburbs, near Xuanwu Lake. It also serves as a transfer junction.

Nanjing South Station is located in Yuhuatai District, and mainly serves as a hub for high-speed trains between Nanjing and Beijing as well as Nanjing and Shanghai.
