00ReplyWhich railway station do you refer to? The main station? If from main station, it is not far in distance. You may consider to take bus No. 100 to Chuanshanqiao and then walk around 1km to north distance to the hostel. Or if you can find a taxi, it is even more convenient.
If for North Station, it is a little bit far. You can take bus No. 32 to Huaniaoshichang (he 9th stop) and then change to bus No. 204 at same station to Exit-Entry Administration Division (the 6th stop). The hostel is just 100m away.

ReplyReservation in advance
Hi, is it advisable to buy the tickets for the bullet train in advance? Or is it ok to purchase them on the same day of the journey?

00ReplyIf you are very flexible with travel time, it should be fine to buy it on the same day of the trip. If you do need a ticket at appoint time, it would be safer to buy it in advance.

00ReplyYes, the time should be OK. You can take metro line 2 directly for this transfer which takes around 30min on the way. As long as you collect the paper tickets for both trips in advance together, the time would be enough for you to make the transfer.
