HongKong to Shanghai by train + roadtrip afterward?

Question

Is it a good idea to take a train from HK to Shanghai? How long is the journey, how much, how comfortable?

Can I rent a car in Shanghai and drive out of the city? Will an International Driving Permit be enough for the authorities?

Are there good places to go, enough for 4-5 days?

Thanks v. much in advance!

Hong kong to shanghai by train is 16 hours.

it is an overnight train.. leaves at about 5 pm. you get there very early in the morning.

i would not advise you rent a car in shanghai, why dont you travel by metro?

i would go to the oriental pearl (tallest tower in the world) , yu yuan gardens (beautifully lit, shops, restraunts, bars)

Nan jing road for shopping and walking around.

you are much better on a taxi, it is very very cheap.

Answer 3

by train it would be less than 1 day
