These rides are operated at different railway stations in both cities:

 In Shanghai, 36 pairs of them are operated at Hongqiao Railway Station and only 14 pairs of them use Shanghai Railway Station. It is needless to say that there are more choices in Hongqiao Station which is adjacent to Hongqiao International Airport. It is a little far from the city center and other attractions sites, but the transportation to and from the station is pretty convenient. Passengers can take city bus, subway line 2 or line 10 to other places. The schedule of Shanghai Station is not as dense as that of Hongqiao Station, but it is closer to city center. If the schedule fits, it will be more time-saving to use it.

 In Hefei, 47 pairs of them are operated at South Railway Station and only 4 pairs of them use Main Railway Station. South Railway Station is located a little far from the downtown area, but there are more choices and the transportation of this station is convenient. So you are advised to choose the South Station, except that you stay near the main station and its schedule fits your travel time.

 Passengers can also travel by flight. There are three pairs per day. The travel time is 1.5 hours or so. But they are not recommended because the airports are a little bit far from the city center, making the total flight travel time no big difference from the high speed rail travel. Besides, easily affected by weather changes, flights are not as punctual as rail service. Last but not least, flight travel will cost more than rail travel in most cases.
