Mr.JAMESWONG(China) replied:
Hi, Mr. Kashef. If you use the flight of Air Aisa, you can take the direct shuttle bus to Shanghai (Nanpu Bridge) offered by this airline. THere is only one bus everyday. If not, you should get to Hangzhou Train Station by airport bus and then change to bullet trains there to Shanghai South Train Station.

Hi,
I'm going from Hangzhou to Jiaxing Railway Station by train on the morning of November 23rd about 09:00. Should I book a train ticket in advance or on the spot? For someone not speaking Chinese, do you think getting off the train at the right stop will be a problem?
Thanks!

I'm now in Yiwu, how do I get to the Silk City from and back to Hangzhou International Airport ?
I am leaving Hangzhou on 2009/11/5 morning flight.
Nov. 4,2009 04:37
Mr.Leo replied:
Do you mean the Silk City in Hangzhou? If so, you could take a train to Hangzhou firstly. Then, from the railway station, you could take a cab get to the Silk City easily.
To Hangzhou Airport, you could catch the shuttle at CAAC Ticket Office at Wulinmen or Hangzhou Railway Station.

10x 4 ur infomation. sorry that i have few questions to ask here. i will arrive Hangzhou airport on 19th of November at 1:10pm, after i reach there and get to Chengzhen Railway Station to buy the tickets on spot, is it possible i can get the ticket to BeiJing? May i know is what time? After i reach to BeiJing, what is the station name? and around what time will be reach there? i am very appreciate your help =)
Oct. 26,2009 21:18
Mr.Leo replied:
I think it is impossible for you to get the train ticket to Beijing on the spot. Usually, you have to purchase the train ticket at least a week ago. So, it is suggested that you take a flight from Hangzhou to Beijing.
Well, the train info could be searched here: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

How to go from Xiao Shan International Airport to Yiwu at 2300 hrs as they will be no any shuttle. Please advice.
Oct. 26,2009 04:58
Mr.James replied:
You can take airport bus to the city center and then take a taxi to Hangzhou East Railway Station, for there are two trains leaving at 1:42am and 1:48am. That is the earliest train and the last train to Yiwu leaves before 23:00.
