For years, Shanghai’s high-speed rail map has pulled passengers towards Hongqiao. That balance is beginning to change. New stations are taking shape in Pudong, Baoshan and Chongming, while another high-speed line will add stations in Fengxian and Jinshan.

多年来,上海的高铁版图一直把客流吸引到虹桥。如今,这种平衡正在发生变化。浦东、宝山和崇明的新车站陆续推进建设,另一条高铁线路还将在奉贤和金山增设车站。

For residents of Pudong, the practical frustration is familiar. A journey by high-speed train can begin with a lengthy cross-city trip to Hongqiao. Shanghai East Railway Station is intended to give eastern Shanghai a substantial long-distance rail alternative beside Pudong International Airport.

对浦东居民来说,这种不便并不陌生。乘坐高铁,往往要先花很长时间穿越上海前往虹桥。上海东站的建设,正是为了让上海东部在浦东国际机场旁边拥有一个规模可观的长途铁路枢纽。

Shanghai East is being built in Zhuqiao, with 15 platforms, 30 tracks and more than 1.3 million square metres of floor space. The target is to have it ready for operation in July 2027. Official planning places it second only to Hongqiao among Shanghai’s major railway hubs.

上海东站位于祝桥,将设置15台30线,总建筑面积超过130万平方米。按照目前的安排,车站计划于2027年7月具备运营条件。在上海主要铁路枢纽中,它的规模将仅次于虹桥。

The project’s most distinctive feature is its air-rail transfer module. The distance from the railway exit to the aviation security area is planned at about 250 metres. The arrangement will allow passengers to complete check-in and baggage procedures within the wider hub before continuing towards Pudong Airport.

上海东站最特别的设计,是与航空相结合的空铁联运模块。铁路出站闸机到航空安检区域的距离约为250米。旅客可以在枢纽内部办理值机和行李托运,再继续前往浦东机场。

Shanghai government information describes the station as part of a future structure with Hongqiao Hub in the west and the Eastern Hub in the east. Shanghai East is expected to connect with the second phase of the Shanghai–Suzhou–Nantong railway, the new Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway and the airport link line serving Hongqiao and Pudong.

上海市政府资料把这一布局概括为“西有虹桥枢纽、东有东方枢纽”。上海东站计划接入沪苏通铁路二期、新建沪杭高铁,并通过机场联络线连接虹桥和浦东两大交通节点。

Baoshan Station is working towards the same July 2027 target. Located in Yanghang, it will have eight platforms and 18 tracks. It will serve the Shanghai–Chongqing–Chengdu high-speed railway and the second phase of the Shanghai–Suzhou–Nantong railway, while also connecting with Metro Line 19 and other local transport.

宝山站也以2027年7月为目标。车站位于杨行,将设置8台18线,服务沪渝蓉高铁和沪苏通铁路二期,同时衔接地铁19号线及其他市内交通。

Its unusual feature is its vertical layout. The elevated level will carry the high-speed railway, while the Shanghai–Nantong railway will use the underground level. Shanghai government sources describe Baoshan as China’s second double-deck railway-yard hub after Beijing Fengtai and the first to use an elevated-and-underground stacked arrangement.

宝山站的独特之处在于立体布局。高架层将承担高铁运行,沪通铁路则使用地下车场。上海市政府资料称,宝山站将成为继北京丰台站之后中国第二座双层车场铁路枢纽,也是中国首座采用“高架加地下”叠层形式的同类车站。

A Railway Network Built in Stages

Chongming will receive its first railway station at Chengqiao. The station is planned with two platforms and six tracks, roughly 1.5 kilometres from the island’s main urban area. Its connection towards Baoshan depends on the Chongming–Taicang Yangtze River tunnel, which is designed to carry the Shanghai–Nanjing–Hefei high-speed railway.

崇明将在城桥建设岛上的首座铁路车站。崇明站计划设置2台6线,距离主城区约1.5公里。它通往宝山的铁路联系,取决于崇太长江隧道;这条隧道将服务沪宁合高铁。

Current government reporting puts the future journey between Chongming and Baoshan at about 17 minutes once the tunnel and associated railway infrastructure are operating; a specific opening date for Chongming Station has yet to be announced.

目前的政府报道显示,待隧道及相关铁路设施投入运营后,崇明到宝山的高铁行程预计约为17分钟;崇明站目前尚未公布具体开通日期。

Farther south, the new Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway has moved beyond the planning stage. Advance works began in September 2025, while the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has approved the project’s environmental impact report. The line is currently targeted for completion by the end of 2029.

在上海南部,新建沪杭高铁已经不再只是规划项目。相关先行工程于2025年9月开工,生态环境部也已批复项目环境影响报告。目前,这条线路的建设目标是于2029年底完成。

The approved route will run from the Shanghai East area through Situan, Fengxian and Jinshan before continuing through Zhejiang to Hangzhou West. It will be designed for 350 kilometres per hour and will add new stations at Fengxian, Shanghai Jinshan, Pinghu and Linping North, alongside rebuilt stations on the existing network.

获批线路将从上海东站方向出发,经四团、奉贤和金山,进入浙江后通往杭州西站。线路设计时速为350公里,并将新建奉贤、金山、平湖和临平北四座车站,同时改扩建既有铁路网络上的相关车站。

Pudong Airport is developing on a similar timetable. Its new T3 terminal, part of the fourth-phase expansion, is scheduled for completion in 2028 and is designed to handle 50 million passengers a year. Once the wider project is finished, Pudong Airport’s annual passenger capacity is expected to reach 130 million.

浦东机场也在按照相近的时间表推进扩建。作为四期工程的核心项目,新建T3航站楼计划于2028年完成,设计年旅客吞吐能力为5000万人次。整个扩建工程完成后,浦东机场年旅客保障能力预计达到1.3亿人次。

T3 and Shanghai East are being developed together as core components of the wider Eastern Hub. The new Shanghai–Hangzhou railway will follow later, with completion currently targeted for the end of 2029.

T3和上海东站正在作为东方枢纽的核心组成部分同步推进。新建沪杭高铁则将在之后完成,目前的建设目标是2029年底。
