[quote=ELLYSE,274168]I've answered these questions several times within this week, on various travel forums.
Hangzhou and Shanghai both have more than 1 train station. I prefer the trains going between Hangzhou main train station and Shanghai South train station. Hangzhou main train station is more accessible and closer to downtown and the sights; Shanghai South train station is newer, cleaner and easier to find your way around.
The airport shuttle will bring you from Hangzhou airport to Hangzhou main train station -- note that this is NOT the final terminus. Yes, it should take about 1 hour to reach the train station. Note that you still have to allow time to find the ticket window, queue up, buy tickets and then find the waiting room etc, it's not just a matter of getting to the train station and jumping on the train!
The D trains are the fastest and nicest trains for this route. Useful departures for you for Hangzhou -- Shanghai South would be D670 (1455--1618) and D678 (1725--1843), but I doubt you'll be able to make it for the earlier departure. If you're trying to travel on a Sunday or Friday, I doubt you'll be able to get any seat tickets.
Yes, there's always left luggage storage at the train station. It should cost between 2-10 RMB per piece depending on the size. Yes, it's safe enough. I trust you're not carrying diamonds or gold bars in your luggage![/quote]
