I can also speak shanghainese if it matters to anyone :) have not been here in 10+ years, it's about stinking time!!

Wow^, been back only once in the last 14+ years. But heading out there in April with Mom and November for the DO. Both tickets booked.

P.S: My Shanghainese get laughed at so much I'm afraid to speak it anymore. :(

I was thinking an HSR trip might be interesting, possibly originating and/or terminating elsewhere with the DO in the middle or at one end. If others are interested I'd be happy to help plan that.

I think Nanjing would be a good destination if you really want to feel the speed of the HSR. If you go for a nearby destination like Suzhou, the train doesn't really have the time to get up to speed before it has to slow down again, and it's not really value-for-money.
Round-trip 2nd-class tickets for Nanjing (about 1+ hour each way) will cost around 300 RMB/pax.

Some people might be interested in checking out the new high-speed rail that will connect Shanghai with Beijing in FOUR hours. That's basically NYC to ATL....

That sounds amazing. Start the DO in Shanghai, end in Beijing.:D

Would love to find out the launch date of the new high-speed rail between BJ and SH. I have an open-jaw ticket booked into PEK and out of PVG for this DO. A 4 hour ride on the G-train definitely beats out sitting in Y on MU or CZ.
