1. Hi,

   I am living in hangzhou.If you want to taste seafood, Here are 2 choices,

   1) JUFUYUAN located at NANSHAN Road( southern moutain road), It is restrant special on seafood.

   2) You can also find seafood at Radisson Hotel nearby WULIN square.I guess it is costly since Radisson is five-star-hotel.

   Welcome to Hangzhou.

2. I just arrived in Hangzhou having flown to Shanghai. Jianshuo is spot on about the bus being the easiest way, but make sure that you note that the last one leaves at 17:30. Quite a number of international flights arrive in the late afternoon, and you want to give yourself at least an hour to go through the arrival procedures. At least if you miss the bus you can stay in that nice new Ramada for a night :)

3. Hello, I arrive in Hong Kong on October 9, we need to be in Shanghai on the morning of October 10. On October 11 we need to get to Nanjing. Then on October 12 we need to go to Hangzhou. Then on October 13 we need to be in Kunming. October 14 we have to be in Hong Kong and then on October 15 in GuangZhou.

   Do you or anyone have suggestions on how to (cheapest) get along this itinerary?

   Thank you,

   Brian

   P.S. If you can provide hotel suggestions in the 4-5 star range, I’d be greatly appreciative.

4. Brian,

   You are crazy, :-) Seems you will be spinning around the major coastal cities for one week. I am from HangZhou, my suggestion will be:

   HongKong Shanghai: Airplane, DragonAir?

   Shanghai Nanjing HangZhou: Express train, there are special express train between these cities, fast and confortable.

   HangZhou KunmingHongKong: Airplane

   HongKong GuangZhou: train

   you can always find cheap hotel,go http://english.ctrip.com/to reserve it if you are so sure after landing.

5. Hi Jian Shuo

   I noted John’s email dated Aug 31, 2003. I will arrive Shanghai at Oct 11 17:10 and don’t think I can get the last bus on 17:30 to Hangzhou. Is there any change in the bus departure time? I don’t want to stay at Shanghai for 1 night as I want to meet my family who arrive Shanghai few days earlier and most likely move to Hangzhou from Wuxi or Suzhou at the same date. Is there any alternative safety way to Hangzhou? Please advise.

   Tks a lot.

6. Great site! I am in Holland and will visit Hangzhou in two weeks. I tried to find travel info from PVG to Hangzhou. Via internet search “pudong international airport hangzhou”, I found this very useful article in your site. Thanks a lot.

7. Dear Mr Wang Jianshuo,

   Maybe I’m a bit late at requesting info from you. I searched the web for Shanghai Pudong Airport, and came accros your site, which answers practical questions.

   Mine is this : You confirmed there are busses direct from Pudong to Hangzhou. I’ll land at Pudong on Tuesday November 4th at 7.50 am, and wabnt to go to the old Song capital as comfortably and quickly as possible. Do I have to book a bus ticket in advance, and how? Where do busses get in Hangzhou? I know there are at least two major bus stations, one near Wulin Gate, and one near the Railway station, if I remember well.

   As I’m leaving in less than a week, could you please answer me as soon as possible?

   Thanks a lot

   You can answer me in English or Chinese

   Sincerely Yours

   Laurent Long

8. You don’t have to book the tickets in advance. You just buy the ticket after you get on board the bus.

   Bus stop location: The Bus Center at the opposite side of Gate 19 of Arrival Hall

   I suggest you to check with the bloggers in Hangzhou – http://www.sinosplice.com/~teasalon/

9. Dear Jianshuo,

   I will arrive PVG at 23:30pm, will there still be bus to Shanghai railway station?

   What is the rough price to Hangzhou by Taxi after midnight?

   Regards!

   erhuyou

10. Wow. How can you arrive PVG that late? I didn’t know there is a flight that is so late. If your want to take taxi to Hangzhou? It may take at least 1000 RMB if you go at middle night.

11. Royal Brunei flight BI617 arrives at 23:30pm. All the bus service would finish when I am out of the airport, I guess. So I have to use taxi to Shanghai railway station and wait for the next train to Hangzhou, or stay one night in Shanghai, right?

    How much more do I have to pay for a taxi ride after midnight?

12. You should still be able to catch the last Airport bus since they have flexible schedule to be able to send the passengers of the last flight off.

    At night, you need to pay about 50% more. Check this page http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20030801_shanghai_taxi_tickets.htm for detailed fee.

13. Really? It means they have to operate after midnight. That is really good. I need to go to the railway station to catch a train to Hangzhou.

14. Hi,

    I’m currently living in Hangzhou, and soon I have a friend and sister coming to visit me, which means I will have to do several back and forths between Hangzhou/PVG.

    I’m very grateful that you have listed the times for the express buses to Hangzhou for the airport. But I have another question; do you know if it’s possible to take this bus FROM Hangzhou TO PVG? It seems it’s pretty hard to get info on long distance buses in Hangzhou.

15. I am afraid I don’t have that information. I have put it into my watchlist and may add it later.

16. Hi Jian Shuo,

    Really appreciative of the information listed in your website. I took the 4.40pm bus from Shanghai Airport to Nanjing and all went smooth.

    I’m leaving Suzhou for Shanghai Pudong Airport tomorrow. Tried calling the telephone no. you gave for the express bus service but seems like there are no one answering the phone.

    May I ask where to board the bus from Suzhou to Pudong Airport?

    Cheers,

    Lei

17. Lei, first of all, don’t trust the numbers I gave. They should be correct numbers, but there is no service garentees. Most of them are either busy all the time or no one answer the phone.

    I think I can add such information in the future. But I don’t know where the bus is now.

18. how can i go back from Pudong airport to Ningbo? by bus? what is the bus schedul? i think i will arrive airport at 6pm. any buses available then?

19. Hello

    please advise the best options for travel from Hangzhou to Shanghai 19 April prefer late afternoon.

    also what is the best way to travel from Beijing to Tainjin rtn in same day

    also the costs and I need timetable for both requests

    many thanks

    jenny

20. Can you please advise if you know of a direct bus from PVG to Huzhou, or from Hongqaio Airport to Huzhou.

    If there is not a direct bus can you advise where in Shanghai I can catch a bus to Huzhou.

    Thank you.

21. There should be no directly bus to Huzhou from Pudong airport. I suggest you to go to the Shanghai Railway Station and you can find a lot of buses to Huzhou or any other nearby cities.

22. Dear Jian Shuo

    Thank you for your prompt response to my enquiry of 10/3/04 regarding catching a bus from Shanghai to Huzhou.

    I have another question for you.

    In an earlier response to a question, you provided a copy of a timetable for the bus from PVG to Hangzhou and it showed that the first bus did not leave until 11.30am.

    Is this correct or did you only print part of the timetable?

    My flight arrives at 6.20am into PVG and I would like to catch an earlier bus if possible.

    Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

    Regards

    Ian Tait

23. Hi,

    I hope you can help. I would like to travel from Huanzhou to Nanjing. I read that there is one daily express train between the cities. Do you have any info on this train, or other means of transportation? I am trying to visit both cities while I am in Shanghai, and it would be helpful to travel directly between the two. Thanks, and what an awesome blog!

24. dearest,help me out,i need to reach hangzhou on this 9apr,i read ur column using bus is one of the safe n cheapest way…but where will it stop in hangzhou?is it at any place near the shopping spot,market,hotel????n how about frm hangzhou back to shanghai pudong airport wut is the best way…??????pls reply me soon thks/brgds

25. I am in Hangzhou i like to know is there any entreprenuer club or business club as i have some business plan to share.Thanks

26. hi all, i am going to Shanghai early next week (first trip to China! excited, although not so abt the current mei yu season.. grrrr… r.a.i.n..). part of my plan is to stay overnight at Hangzhou with my friends for a day.

    we would like to know if anyone has recommendations on good, reliable hotels in Hangzhou, which are preferably near to the train station as we will be rushing back to Shanghai (via express train) the following day to catch a flight home.. it would not make much sense at too expensive a hotel since we will be checking out real early

    your soonest reply will be greatly appreciated- THANKS!!!

27. Dear Jian Shou,

    I will be arriving at Shanghai Pudong Airport and would be travelling to Pudong Danghu Town.

    What would be the best way to get there?

    Thank you,

    Victor

28. Hi Jian Shou,

    Made a mistake in my destination. It should be Pinghu.

    Please advise how to get there.

    Regards,

    Victor

29. Pinghu? It is somewhere in Zhejiang or Jiangsu province? Chances are, you can have try the train. Although it is not clean and it is crowded, there must be train to go there. I don’t remember a bus going to Pinghu.

30. Just a question. My friends will be competing in a competition at Huzhou, China. We’re from the Philippines and I just need to know what is the name of the airport in Huzhou, and if there’s no airport in Huzhou, what airports are nearest it? Will it be better for us to fly to SHanghai or to Hangzhou? If you can reply soon, it would be a BIG help. Thank you.

31. It should be Hangzhou. Or you can also arrive in Shanghai since Shanghai offers much more choices than to Hangzhou regarding international flight.

32. +Love the site. Can you really solve Rubiks in 4 minutes? Can you tell me about how Maglev is presently operating. I’ve read lots about itand am visiting soon. Is it operating daily and if so what times? Also can you help me with a source of GENUINE cheap golf clubs in Shanghai? Many thanks,

33. Yes. It operates daily. I have many articles on it. Try to search Maglev with the Search box on the right-top corner of this page.

34. Where is XIamen?

35. Ina,

    Except for a few well-known cities, you should always try to identify the province where the cities are in in order not to be mistaken. Since you are asking both about Xiaman and Huzhou, you could be referring to cities in Fujian province. Someone with an accent could pronounce the capital of that province Huzhou when in fact it is Fuzhou. Find out if that’s where your friend will be competing in and get the province in which it belong. If it is Fuzhou and Xiamen, then both cities each has an international airport.

36. I am planning to go to Shanghai and Hangzhou next month. I will arrive at Shanghai Pudong airport at 2.30pm. I plan to go straight to Hangzhou from airport and I must reach Hangzhou before 6.00pm. Can you tell me which is the best transport to use to go to Hangzhou, bus or train. What is the travelling time for each transport. I will be staying in Shangrila Hangzhou. Is the railway station or bus station near this hotel.

37. I suggest to get on the bus to Hangzhou after you arrive in Shanghai Pudong Airport. It is lack of frustration for you if you are not familiar with the two cities. Shangri-la is a nice hotel and you can take taxi from the Railway station (is also the long distance bus station).

38. You said I can take a taxi from railway station after I arrived at Hangzhou. Do you mean the bus will stop at the railway station. How is the condition of the bus. Is it an express bus with three seater in one row. What is the travelling time? How much is the fares. Will i have any problem since I don’t read Chines but I can converse in Chinese. Do you think I will be able to catch the 3.30pm bus. I will reach Pudong airport at 2.30pm.

39. It is about 100 RMB, as I written in the content of the article. You should be OK, as long as you can say “Hangzhou” to them. The bus is very good, but the bus station at Hangzhou is not. It is near the railway station. There are two major railway stations in Hangzhou. The bus stops at the east one, which is not the major one. I took bus to that station the other day and took taxi to Shangri-la. It took me about 20 RMB, I tought. I guess you can catch the 3.30 PM bus, if there is no delay of your flight.

40. Thanks very much for your information

41. Hi

    I need to leave hangzhou on a sunday late past midnight to catch a flight out from Shanghai PVG at 8 am. Can you help to suggest the best way to get there. How much would a taxi cost for one way Hangzhou—>Shanghai PVG.

    Many Thanks in advance.

    regards

    HY

42. Do not take taxi. It costs about 600 RMB – 800 RMB depending on well you can negociate with the taxi driver. You can take bus.

43. Thanks very much. Is there a website for the bus service ? fare and schedule information ?

44. Well. I don’t know any website on this topic so far. That is the reason I started this blog

45. Hi, I will be in Xiamen with 10 of my friend,

    we plan tovisit shaghai, can we have more information on express

    train,the travelling time & time table ,

    thank you

47. Dear Jian Shou,

    Pls inform where does the Bus from Pudong Airport drop in Hangzhou. As I want to travel by East Bus Station in Hangzhou to Keqiao. Also if I want to travel back from Hangzhou where do I get a direct bus to the Pudong airport. Pls also inform the frequency of the buses during the day. This site is quite informative and handy.

    Thank You

    Sandeep

48. Hi ! I had earlier posted my wnquiry, but am still awaiting for a reply from your end. This about direct airport Bus services from Pudong airport to Hangzhou.

    I will be coming from India and would be travelling to Keqiao. So the bus to Hangzhou would be most ideal. Now, I want to know is where would the bus drop me in Hangzhou and from there to go to the East Bus station (Qiche Dong Zhan )so that I can take a connecting bus to keqiao. Would that be my route for returning back to Pudong airport also. What is the time schedule and bus fare. Please inform at earliest as my travel date is 7th Nov,2004.

    B.Rgds

    Sandeep

49. Sandeep, I am afraid I don’t know the drop off location in Hangzhou since they just moved. It is different from the old station. So if you find any information about the station, please take a look at the time the information is posted, since it may be out of date already.

50. Dear Mr. Wang,

    I’ll go to Hangzhou on 19Nov from Shanghai. What is the best n clean transportation between these 2cities ? Should I take train or bus, which one is more convinient, coz I bring my 9years old son. How much does it cost and where should I take the bus or train ? In Hangzhou, we will stay at Hangzhou Liuyang Hotel.

    Last but not least, I need your information also if you can tell me where can I buy injection moulding accessories,e.g ejector pins or hardware tools in Hangzhou ?

    Thanks n Regards,

    Sumi

52. Dear Jian Shuo,

    Your website is a great help. I will be flying to Shanghai in August,05 and would like to get to Hangzhou directly from the Pudong airport. My arrival time to Pudong airport is approximately 6:15 pm. Can I still take the bus from airport to Hangzhou? What is the lastest bus departure time from Pudong airport to Hangzhou? Do you already get a seat on the bus (or take you)? Thanks very much for any of your wonderful help in advance.

53. We want to visit the canton fair end of april 2005. We will take the

    train from HK and need a visa from china. For this visa we need a

    invitation letter. What is the way to get this letter? Perhaps you can help

    us. THANKS in advance and greetings from Germany

54. Dear Fred,

    For EU passport holder, you can enjoy 5-day stay in China without a visa if you enter the country from Hong Kong/Shenzhen border, and leave the country the same way.

    You don’t need an invitation letter to get a 3-month one time entry visa. Actually, if you can talk to the Chinese embassy in Frankfurt and mentioning that you would like to visit Canton Fair, and they should be able to grant you the visa within 1 to 2 working days.

    Hope this help.

    Cheers,

63. Hi there Mate!

    Just writing to say well done on this blog site! We have been to Shanghai and hangzhou Fuyang several times and are heading that way again on the 30th of Nov. We were told by ALOT of people that the bus from PVG to Hangzhou was expensive as all-get-out … And a few others that told us it didn’t exist … so we are stoked, as it means we can get straight out to our mates and begin the adventure again, just earlier … LOVE IT …

    Cheers, have a good day and keep up the TOP work!

    Benny and Larissa Alick

64. Dear Mr Wang,

    I want to ask you if there is an alternative to take a direct bus from Hangzhou to Pudong Airport ? If yes please inform me where can I take it and what is the schedule of this bus… I wait for your answer…

    Semih

65. Dear Jian Shuo,

    My friends and I are planning to visit China in November as I have to travel a few cities which are not major cities in china I therefore would appreciate and welcome your advice.

    1)How to go from Pudong Airport to Changzhou:by train or by bus how much does it costs?Is it expensive if we go by taxi (we travel 3 persons).

    2)From Shanghai to Ningbo: what is the best possible way that we can travel? Again how much does each way costs?

    3)From Shanghai to Putou Shan(East side of Shanghai where people go to worship Guan Yin Goddness)

    I’ve found out that the only way that we can go is by ship. It take 3.5 to arrive at Putou Shan, however on the way back we have to travel 13 hours and therefore have to overnight on the ship. Isn’t there a express ship from Putou Shan to Shanghai?If yes please give me further details ie:timetable,fare etc.

    Best regards,

    Sue

66. Could you anyone give me an update for the bus schedue from Pudong Airport to HangZhou? I will be back to HangZhou in Dec 2005, is the last bus departing at 19:30? Looks I can not catch it, since the UA flight arrive around 1930…

67. Hi Jian Shuo,

    I was wondering if you could help as no-one in England seems to know! I will be changing flights at Pudong for Sydney and the time between flights is 6 hours on the way out and 16 hours on the way back, will I need a visa for this amount of time and/or will I be able to leave the airport?

    Many thanks for a reply as this is my first time travelling on my own and its a little scary…..

68. Dear Jian Shuo

    I will go to changzhou for business, can you tell me how to go from shanghai pudong airport to changzhou? By train or by bus? How long does it take? How much should I pay?Where to catch the train from pudong airport? Thanks

    frank

69. Dear Jian Shou, what a fantastic blog you offer I am very impressed.

    I need a little help. I am coming to China for the first time to work with a client in Hangzhou. I fly to Pudong airport and am thinking of taking a taxi or a bus. I think a taxi might be arround 1000 RBM, is this correct? Would we need to negotiate with the taxi driver or is the price fixed?

    We do not have the hotel directions written in chinese, we have a map and address in english… is this ok or should we get the details in chinese from the hotel?

    Thank you for your kind service

    Charlie

70. Charlotte

    To take taxi is an option, although much more expensive. The price is not fixed. Since it is super long distance for the taxi drivers, you have the opporutunity to nogotiate the price. I suggest you to get Chinese locations for the hotel, to make it more easier, although I think it SHOULD be OK if you have the map and location. Also, if you have the hotel telephone, it will be useful. If the driver cannot find the hotel, he can help to make a phone call using his mobile.

71. Could you tell me the best way to get to Fuyang from Shanghai and how long does it take?

73. I will be arriving in Pudong Airport at 6.20 am on SQ816 on 18 November. Me and my travelling companion will need to go to Hangzhou where we will be staying for the first night. May I know what is the taxi fare from Pudong to Hangzhou? Is it by negotiation or does it go by the meter? I am conversant in Mandarin and language is not a problem.

74. The price is by negotiation. By directly go there, it is very expensive, like 1000? I guess since many drivers ask for return tickets.

75. Where is the best places to shop and eat in Shang Hei?

    How about in Hangzhou?

    Is there a limousine or car service company that will take me from Shang Hei Airport to Hangzhou?

    If so, do you have thier website, phone and other contact information?

    What is the closet Pearl Market in Hangzhou?

80. Can I take the bus directly from Pudong Airport to Ningbo? We get in at 3:25 pm and the train schedule does not look good if I am reading it right. (No train until 19:15) Is there a bus from PVG to Ningbo? If so is there one leaving around 4:30 or 5:00pm?

    Is a bus from PVG to the bus station in Shanghai to get a bus to Ningbo a better idea, i.e. faster or cheaper?

89. Hi. Thank you for your site. It is very helpful. I am traveling to Shanghai on June 11th and on to Hangzhou. My flight arrives one hour before the last bus leaves. I don’t believe I can make it. Would you recommend getting a hotel room that has an airport shuttle bus and then returning to catch the Hangzhou bus in the morning, or catching a train the next morning? If you believe the train is a better choice, what station will I leave from in Shanghai, and which one will I arrive at in Hangzhou? Also, do you know of a site to see a good map of Hangzhou city? I have been having difficulty locating one…..Thanks for your help. Sarah

90. Dear Jian shuo,

    Is there now a train from Pudong Airport or Shanghai to Hangzhou?

    How many hours? Cost?

    Thanks,

    RD

91. Richard: There is no direct train service from PVG to Hangzhou. You could catch the maglev + metro to get to the Shanghai Railway South Station, where you can get a train to Hangzhou.

92. Very good infomation to Vhina & Hongkong, if you plan trip to Vietnam, please feel free to ask me at: http://www.nguyencaovan.blogspot.com

93. Hi,

    I am looking for an easiest way to reach Shanghai Pudong airport from Hangzhou. I came to know that Buses are the best way to travel from Hangzhou.

    Now, I have couple of issues to clear:

    1. Is there any direct buses from Hangzhou to Shanghai Pudong Airport? If yes, please tell me how to book the tickets and the address to pick the bus. If you have any details on the schedule, that would be really helpful.

    2. Is there any carry luggage limitations while travelling through bus?

    I would appreciate if you could help me get the answer to these queries.

    Best,

101. Will be taking a week break at Hangzhou this Autumn (after the Olympics), arriving on 17 Sep.

     Thought of visiting nearby cities as well, such as Suzhou and Shanghai.

     What are the best options in travelling (day trip), since our accomodation at Hangzhou is fixed.

     And of course, my wife and I are keen on visiting as much of Hangzhou’s famous sites too. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

102. Suzhou definitely – may take one day.

     Shanghai takes more time. You should take at least two days (including one night) in Shanghai.

103. Your blog has a lot of good info. I am arriving in Shanghai at 1630 on 29 Mar. and would like to get to Hangzhou that evening. Is there still a bus at 1930 or is 1730 the last one. I probably won’t be able to get the 1730 one unless my flight is early. Could you please advise of a good hotel close to the airport that is reasonably priced?

104. Ni hao :)

     we ll arrive to Shanghai and take the bus to Hangzhou according to the information you provided (congrats for the effort!:))

     my question is: can you recommend a nice but cheaper hotel in HZ? or provide a good link for list of this kind of hotels?

     last time my colleagues went to HZ they accepted (out of ignorance) a hotel with 4 stars for 180euors(!!!) (4 stars-yeah right!hehe)

     we re not demanding,nor high-class even though we re coming for business, so we would appreciate if you could help us find a decent place to stay:)

     Feichang gangxie!

     keep up the good work, zhu ni shenghuo kuaile! (wo neng bu neng zheyang shuo ma??) :)

     I will arrive to Pudong airport at 23.59pm on Mar 06, 2009 and would like to go Hangzhou. Kindly Please tell me the easy/quick way (in details) to go Hangzhou from Pudong Airport either by train or bus.

     and if iam going to catch the train from shanghai railway station at that time how can i go?Thanks and have a good day

115. I love your blog. very useful

     I am going to Hangzhou for the 4th time in May. I adore it.

     This time, I want too have a look at nice towns and countryside (as well as Hangzhou). Any suggestions?

     from Hangzhou, how do you get to the XiXi nature reserve? Wuzhen? anywhere else on the bus or train?

     Many thanks in advance

116. Hangzhou has some nice towns, and along the Qiangtang River (also called Fuchun River at the upstream areas) there are many very nice places. There are bus to those locations daily (if not hourly). But I am afraid I don’t have more details about the fast changing bus schedule. Check out the local tourism booklet.

117. I will arrive at Pudong Airport on 26th of June at 7.00 a.m. and will take a bus from Pudong airport to Hangzhou and will stay at Four Points by Sheraton located at Dongxin Avenue. I have questions to ask you :

     1. At Pudong Shanghai Airport, whether there is only 1 Bus Center at the opposite side of Gate 19 0f Arrival Hall that will take me from PVG to Hangzhou.

     2. Can I buy the ticket at the Bus Center without any reservation ? Price ?

     3. Does the bus go directly from Pudong Airport to Huanglong Station in Hangzhou without any stop ? I would like to know when and where I should take off the bus.

     4. How far from Huanglong Station to Four Points by Sheraton ? Taxi Fare ?

     Thank you in advance for your response as this is the first time for me to go to Hangzhou and by myself without knowing Chinese Language.

118. 1. Yes.

     2. Yes. Actually, they do not accept reservation.

     3. Without any stop – based on what I heard. I didn’t check myself.

     4. No idea, but I guess it won’t be far away – Hangzhou is small, and it should be within 40 RMB (6 USD) range. Well. I mean a very wide range – I don’t know where is the hotel, but just to let you know that if a taxi driver charges you more than 10 USD, there should be a problem.

119. hi, i just want to inquire, we will go to Shaoxing City , i know it is very far

     from Pudong Airport. Kindly assist us how we can get there by bus or by train. please help.

     eka

120. I will travel HZ to PVG on 23 Dec for a 3pm flight and on returning will arrive PVG around 7pm. Is there bus service in both directions from HZ to PVG and back to HZ I can use?

     Thanks for your help. Email please.

121. We know there is a bus from Pudong airport to Hangzhou Yellow Dragon Stadium, can you tell me the times and where it departs the Pudong Airport from? Can we buy tickets at the airport.

122. Hi, I very much appreciate the information provided on your site and as a result was able to take advantage of the direct bus when returning to PVG from Hangzhou last month. It was very comfortable and as you have stated took about 3 hours and was only 100 RMB. My current problem is that I have to make a last minute trip to Hangzhou and arrive at PVG on Dec. 5th around 10:30 pm and I know from your site that last direct bus to Hangzhou departs at 19:30. Is there another way to get from PVG to Hangzhou at that time of night? I would prefer not to stay the night in Shanghai since the first direct bus doesn’t leave the next morning until 10:30 and would I would end up spending a fair bit of the next day traveling. I only have 2 days in Hangzhou to complete all my business and I’d rather travel through the night than lose any time during the business day. Please advise as soon as possible since I may need to modify my flight schedule and add another day if there is no way to get from PVG to Hangzhou at that time of night. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

123. Hello,

     How can we go from Pudong Airport as directly as possible to Huangshan (or Tangkou)? Would you recommend the bus or the train (or any other means of transport…)?

     We will probably arrive on October 23rd around 2pm; is it too late to get to the mountains for sunset?

     Thanks for your help,

     jackie

124. Hi Jianshuo,

     Nice to meet you! I plan to visit and stay at Keqiao, Shaoxing by next year for 1 month.

     Do you know where can I find a cheap service apartment (around how much) that is near to the textile centre?

     Hope to receive your reply soon. Thank you!

     Cheers,

     Raychel

125. we’re due to arrive PVG at 0940 and then get the next bus for Hangzhou………. I see that there’s a 1030 bus but is that realistic or should we just take it easy and go on the noon bus?

126. Hi,

127. Hello Jian Shuo Wang,
