I'll also need transport from Shanghai to Xian (well, actually, I guess I'll be in Suzhou before heading to Xian), and then from Xian back to Beijing.
I responded to your PM but would like to point out for the others that planes are always faster than trains, even if you have to wait for a few hours. Furthermore, as long as you avoid the 3-7 window, your flight will probably operate.
