Direct flights Taipeh - Shanghai ?
 
Any direct flights (and how much do they cost) between these two towns ?

And if not, how much do return flights HK-Shanghai and HK-Taipeh cost ?

BTW, I guess an overland trip by train from HK to Shanghai would take
two days, wouldn't it ?

No direct flights between Taiwan and Mainland China.
This is a political issue.

No non-stop, I don't know about direct. I don't think so- I think you
have to change planes in Hong Kong.

And if not, how much do return flights HK-Shanghai and HK-Taipeh cost ?

About 24 hours, every other day, for the through train.

There are no direct flights. Either Air Macau or Dragonair will get
you there with only a short stopover in Macau or Hong Kong
respectively.

No direct flights so far I know.

The 'official' excuse is that the two countries are in a fight.

The actual excuse is to stage a play of a pretend 'fight', to make it
look like there's a fight when there's actually none at all.

And if not, how much do return flights HK-Shanghai and HK-Taipeh cost ?


I don't know on how much it cost.

But I do know that a single journey (non return) flight economy seat
from Shanghai to Guilin cost around 800 Yuan, I suspect that a flight
from Shanghai to Hong Kong probably will cost around 1000 Yuan or so.

As for Hong Kong to Taipeh. I don't know. But I expect that it will
cost roughly the same or even higher, it's an international flight
after all.

There's a direct train running from Hong Kong to Shanghai and vice
versa provided by Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation, you're welcome
to try it, provided that you can stand long hours (around 24 hours) in
a train.

The schedule from Hong Kong to Shanghai:
