Hi there..
Hi, I will be arriving in Hangzhou International Airport in january 2010. Can you please tell me, where I can catch transport to shanghai?If there any suggestion by taxi or train more cheapest?
Thanks

Mr.LEOSTAR(United States) replied:
When will you arrive at Hangzhou Airport? In daytime, it is suggested that you take the airport shuttle bus to Hangzhou Railway Station and then take a train to Shanghai.
If you arrive in Hangzhou at late night, please stay there for one night. What's more, the Air Aisa supplies scheduled a bus for its passengers from Hangzhou Airport to downtown Shanghai directly.

Mr.LEOSTAR(United States) replied:
You'd better look for a hotel around Hangzhou Railway Station, where you could reach by shuttle bus round the clock and then take a train to Shanghai the next day. Well, you may refer to this website's hotel list of Hangzhou: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/hangzhou-hotels.htm

Hi, I will be arriving in Shanghai by Holland American Cruise Ship at the Cruise Ship
Terminal in October. Can you please tell me, where I can catch one of the sghtseeing buses?
Do I take a taxi from the cruise ship terminal to get to the stop or it is not too far to walk?

Mr.James replied:
You should take taxi to the departure yard of these sightseeing bus lines. Perhaps, Hongkou Football Field is nearer to the terminal, about 5km.

Are the Jinjiang and Dazhong Sightseeing buses still operational upto the present?
Is the Jinjiang Hotel the same as the Nanjing Hotel?
May we know also where we can buy affordable tickets for the Shanghai Acrobatic show and for the Huanpu River Dinner Cruise? How much do they cost if without Round trip Transfers? What if with RT transfers?
Thanx a lot for your help.
Aug. 29,2009 00:51
Mr.Hank replied:
Yes, the bus is operation now. Jinjiang Hotel and Nanjing Hotel are two different hotels in Shanghai. The acrobatic show' ticket could be purchased when you arrive there. Or, you could visit its official website to book a ticket. When you arrive at the Bund, you will find that there are many ticket halls here selling the night cruise ticket. But, please go to the authentic offices, the fare should be 100RMB/person

We shall be staying at the Nanjing Hotel located at 200 Shangxi Road South, Shanghai this coming September 11-14, 2009. Where shall we board the Jinjiang & the Dazhong sightseeing buses? How much does it cost to ride on the subway from Nanjing East to the People's square? Thank You.
Aug. 22,2009 03:30
Ms.Jolin(Shanghai) replied:
I seldom see Jinjiang or Dazhong sightseeing bus for years. There is just one stop from East Nanjing Road to People's Square, so the subway ticket costs CNY 3. When you get to People's Sqare from you hotel, it is easy for you to find a subway line or a bus to whichever scenic spots you like!

Can you which of the above route is most convenient
Thanks

Nanpu Bridge of Jinjiang sightseeing route is closer to Pudong NanRoad. If you stay near to subway station, you can make transfers to the People's Square. Shanghai Subway is convenient.
