As you can see,now the fastest train may still takes 10hours from Shanghai to Beijing,cost about 453 RMB,actually,i recommend you to take a flight rather than a train.there’are about 4or 5 flights per-hour leave for Beijing from Shanghai,and if you are lucky to buy discount ticket,it usually is cheaper than train.
Now the new , Beijing-Shanghai express railway is on construction,and which will go into commercial operation in around 2010,at that time,it will only take less than 5 hours from Shanghai to Beijing by train.
