Mr.LEOSTAR(United States) replied:
This hotel is about 25 kilometers away from the Hongqiao Airport, so it is suggested that you take a taxi to arrive there directly. The journey should be around 30 minutes. The cab fare is about 80~100RMB.

Can someone tell me how to get from Hongqiao Airport to Suzhou by bus and how long it takes? Thanks!
Nov. 5,2009 04:12
Mr.Shan replied:
At Hong Qiao Airport, you could take the bus No.941 to get to Shanghai Railway Station. At the north square of the railway station, you could take a bus to arrive in Suzhou in 2 hours.
Why don't you take a bullet train from Shanghai Railway Station to Suzhou directly. There are much more trains to Suzhou than the buses. It just takes you about 40 minutes and 26RMB.

can someone tell me how to travel from Hangzhou airport to Grand Hyatt The Bund Hotel in Shanghai and how much time needed, please? Thanks.
Oct. 23,2009 02:24
Mr.Hans(Germany) replied:
By taxi from airport to Hangzhou East Station will take you about 30 minutes. From Hangzhou East take the train to Shanghai South. There leave about 2 trains per hour, but it is hard to get a ticket. Try to get it at your travel agent and book "soft seat" for about $ 8,00. Train runs 90 - 120 minutes. Arrived in Shanghai take a taxi to the hotel.

I will be arriving at Hongqiao airport at 920am.....what is the easiest way to transfer to Pudong Airport and what is the earliest flight you would consider leaving Pudong? I have been told there is a bus, but is that the easiest/quickest way to go given I do not speak the language?
Oct. 15,2009 23:15
Mr.Sam replied:
Besides of the shuttle bus, there is only the taxi running between these two airports directly. The taxi fare is around 250RMB and takes almost the same time with the bus. What do you mean by the earliest flight? Return to USA?

Please advise best transportation method from Hongqiao airport to Holiday Inn Pu Dong. Is it best to take bus to Ou Dong Airport then a taxi to Hotel.
Oct. 14,2009 03:19
Mr.James replied:
No, just go to the hotel from Hongqiao directly. The hotel is in Dongfang Road, very close to Dongfang Road Station of SUbway Line 6. You can take airport bus from Hongqiao airport to Jingan Temple. Than change to Subway Line 2 at Jingan Temple to Century Av Station, which is only one stop from Dongfang Road by Line 6 then. Get our from northeast Exit (seems to be Exit 1) and walk a bit North. Or you can just take a taxi to the hotel when you arrive in Century Av.

Sep. 13,2009 01:49
Mr.Jamie replied:
It is about 15km from Shanghai Railway Station to Hongqiao airport. There is no airport bus between them, but the city Bus 941 runs directly from Hongqiao airport to Shanghai Railway Station. If the traffic is smooth, it needs 40 minutes.

Hi! May I know the fastest way to get from Shanghai to Putuo Mountain and back on the same day starting from morning? a speedboat or flight? How to get the schedule n tickets?
Sep. 6,2009 20:43
Mr.Paul replied:
You should get to the bus station at Nanpu Bridge where has buses to Luwan port. There are speed boat to the poor to Putuo Mountain. The bus leaves from Nanpu at 8am. It need two hours on road and 2.5 hours on water. Shanghai South Bus Station has direct buses to Putuo, which need about 6 hours. Or you can take a flight from Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai. It has two flights to Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport in Zhujiajian Island everyday. Get out of Zhoushan Airport, take a taxi to Wugongshi Port where you can find speed boats to the mountain every ten minutes and get there within 20 minutes.
