Most of the train to Yiwu depart from Shanghai South Railway Station. So, when you arrive at Shanghai Pudong Airport, please take the shuttle bus Line 7 to reach Shanghai South Railway Station directly. The train schedule could be searched at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

Is it possible to buy train ticket and travel at the same day? Ill arrive to Shanghai on 5.11. and would like to go to Suzhou at the same day - doesnt matter what for class etc. Or would be easier to buy bus ticket? Whats cheaper? Thanx a lot!
Oct. 29,2009 21:13 Mr.Leo replied:
Yes, you could purchase a train ticket to Suzhou at hte railway station on the spot. Please note that the train will leave from Shanghai Railway Station, and the bullet train just takes about 40 minutes as well as the others take 1~2 hours.
Oct. 30,2009 03:49 Ms.V.(Czech) replied:
Thank you very much. One more question:) Our plan is route Shanghai - Suzhou - (Nanjing) - Huangshan - Hangzhou - Shanghai. Do you think, could we have some troubles somewhere to buy train ticket for the same day? We have just 8 days for China and dont know, if Nanjing is so interesting like other places, should we visit this city? I appriciate every comment.
Nov. 1,2009 22:27 Mr.Leo replied:
Time seems not enough for you, my suggestion: you should miss Nanjing. Suzhou seems better, personally I think. Classical private gardens, Guanqianjie for food and Zhouzhuang for water town are attractive. There may be some troubles on buying train ticket for the same day in weekends or holidays. You can consider to visit Shanghai for two days and buy ticket to Suzhou when you just arrive Shanghai. The same way to buy tickets in other places. In fact, you will just buy ticket from Shanghai to Suzhou and Hangzhou to Shanghai. You can buy the ticket for both in Shanghai in advance. These places are not far from each other, bus is also a good choice instead, and more flexible. Would like to help if you have other problems.

1. are there speed trains to and fro? How much and which station to buy tickets? Can buy online?
2. any recommendation for accomodation in Hangzhou? Budget RMB 250 per room?
3. Are we able to leave some of our baggage at the Pudong Airport, we are transiting Shanghai from New York back to Singapore? YOu can imagine how many items we would have? how much are the storage? safe?
Oct. 6,2009 03:46 Mr.Jamie replied:
There are nearly 80 trains every day from Shanghai to Hangzhou. No need to book online, indeed I never try this. Usually, service fee is much higher if buy through online ticket agent. Speed trains are D trains and they can take you to Hangzhou 1.5 hour later. Shanghai South Railway Station and Shanghai Railway Station both has such trains, South Ralway Station has more train. Ticket fare is 52/62RMB for D trains. Other trains will be much cheaper.
Hope this can help you with the hotel problem: www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/hangzhou-hotels.htm
Generally, it is no problem to save luggage there, or you can ask the hotel inside the terminal about similar service. I just know the you can find the luggage room at 3F, International DEparture Hall, (nearby check-in counters area A). It is charges according to the luggage size. Around 50/case on day. You should consider the cost for 48 hours.

Please consider the Jinjiang Inn, which is no more than 1.5kms from the railway station. The hotel is clean and the staffs are kind~ You could refer to its introduction at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/south-shanghai-railway.htm

Everyday, there are frequent trains running between Shanghai and Jinhua. The fastest one just takes about 3 hours. Well, you could search the train schedule in details at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

There are nearly 80 trains every day from Shanghai to Hangzhou. No need to book online, indeed I never try this. Usually, service fee is much higher if buy through online ticket agent. Speed trains are D trains and they can take you to Hangzhou 1.5 hour later. Shanghai South Railway Station and Shanghai Railway Station both has such trains, South Ralway Station has more train. Ticket fare is 52/62RMB for D trains. Other trains will be much cheaper.
Hope this can help you with the hotel problem:

Generally, it is no problem to save luggage there, or you can ask the hotel inside the terminal about similar service. I just know the you can find the luggage room at 3F, International DEparture Hall, (nearby check-in counters area A). It is charges according to the luggage size. Around 50/case on day. You should consider the cost for 48 hours.
