The Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway ({{zh|s=沪杭客运专线 or 沪杭高速铁路}}), also known as the Huhang high-speed railway or Huhang passenger railway is a high-speed rail line in China between Shanghai and Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The line is {{convert|202|km|mi|abbr=on}} in length and designed for commercial train service at {{convert|350|km/h|mph|round=5|abbr=on}}. It was built in 20 months and opened on October 26, 2010. The line shortened travel time between the two cities from 78 to 45 minutes.{{cite web| url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2010-10/26/c_13575584.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101029002208/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2010-10/26/c_13575584.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=October 29, 2010 |author=xinhuanet|title=China unveils Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed railway; eyes network extension |date=October 26, 2010 |access-date=October 26, 2010|author-link=xinhuanet}} The line is also used by trains departing Shanghai's terminals for Nanchang, Changsha, Guiyang, and Kunming making it part of the Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway. It has made the proposed Shanghai–Hangzhou Maglev Line unlikely.
