First of all, we took the train, which is SUPER NICE in China. The trains are categorized by their speed- there is K, T, Z, D, and G, with G being the fastest (G stands for 高铁 [gāo tiě]). I think we took D but I don't remember exactly?
Shanghai has at least 3 train stations. We left from Hongqiao station (虹桥). Here are some photos from the train station:

Burger King 汉堡王 [hàn bǎo wáng] |
The fast food places are up on the 2nd floor, all around the edge, and you can look down and see everybody waiting for their trains. |
These machines scan your ticket and open the gate. Usually everything is extremely efficient and on time. China knows how to do trains. |

There is a display that gives some information like current speed. Here the speed is 245 km/h (152 mph). |

The train ride from Shanghai to Xiamen took about 7 hours. The train is so nice and relaxing~
Next week I'll post pictures from our vacation in Xiamen. :)
