The VERY fast train, G Train, from Shanghai to Yiwu lunched end of 2014. This new train(actually new railway) makes the whole journey even shorter, only one hour and a half. The old D train retired. Other trains are too slow, not recommended.
* Train is only recommended if you have tickets in hand, or at least got tickets booked and paid over internet, and you are familiar with train transport system, and you have at least 45mins in train station prior departure. During holiday time, train stations are usually packed with people, can easily lose time from line up to another line up.
Otherwise, i recommend you book a car:
Pick up at PVG(Pudong airport): private car / taxi between PVG airport and Yiwu.
Pick up from a Shanghai hotel / other address: car / taxi between Shanghai hotel and Yiwu hotel.
There are over 30 trains go to Yiwu from Shanghai. From 6:30am to 8:30pm, each 10-30 mins, there is train.
