3. Hi

   How many railway stations are in Shanghai. I am planning to go Hangzhou from Shanghai.

   Do I need to go to the Shanghai south station to take the train ?

   How far Shanghai south station from the Shanghai Hongqiao airport?

   Many Thanks

4. @Raul, there are two railway stations in Shanghai. One is the Shanghai Station (on the north side of the city), the other is Shanghai South Station. Most of trains to Hangzhou depart at Shanghai South Station, but there are also some from Shanghai Station.

   It is about 20 km (roughly) from Hong Qiao to South Station. Take a taxi there is the most convenient way.

17. To some of you folks wanting to go to Hangzhou from Shanghai, go to the Shanghai South station. Catch a train there and you should be there in one hour. I think it cost USD12 for the soft seat. I went there in the morning, visited the Wset Lake (Xihu) in Hangzhou, took a boat round the islands, had a great lunch at the Laowailou in the Xihu and came back to Shanghai late evening. Total cost, about USD50. From the Hangzhou station, catch a bus to the Holiday Inn and start your walkaround to the West Lake (Xihu).
