Hi, Mr Chua, you can go to hongqiao airport from hangzhou directly by bus. Go to Wulinmen(chinese pin yin) civil aviation ticket selling office. You can take bus there. The cost is about 90 CNY and it takes 2 hours to reach your destination. The bus runs at hourly intervals. I remember that there is no bus after 6 clock.

Mr.Gong replied:
Is there flight from Shanghai to Ningbo? I haven't find any information on internet. Why don't you take a train to Ningbo from Shanghai South Railway Station? It only takes four hours and no more than 100yuan.

We plan to fly form Hong Kong (or Shenzhen) to Shanghai in November. Staying in Shanghai for a few days. Then we shall fly from Shanghai to Beijing. How much can I expect to pay for the airfares? Thanks.

Ms.Jane Meng replied:
I suggest that you fly from Shenzhen to Shanghai since it is a domestic airline which is much cheaper than the international airline from Hong Kong to Shanghai. And, because it is far to your time schedule, the discount air tickets are not available. Maybe the current airfares give you some ideas in advance, I think you could see this web's data at:

what is the cheapest way to go to hong kong from shanghai and how much will it cost me
Feb. 4,2009 00:31
Mr.William replied:
Seems you will have a challenge journey. The cheapest way should be by train and bus. By this method, you will enter into Hong Kong via Shenzhen. So, firstly take the train T211 at Shanghai South Railways Station to Shenzhen. It costs about 18 hours and 350 yuan of a hard sleeper. Arrive in Shenzhen, you could via the Luohu or other Custom to Hong Kong.

T2 of Pudong Airport is clear and big. It nearly cost us over 20 minutes walking to the bus station. The No.7 shuttle is cheap to get to the South Railway Station, from where we took a taxi to the airport, it was around RMB150~
