What is the best way to go?

Answered by Gabriella from SPAIN | Nov. 24, 2019 16:11

You can use taxi or walk around 700m to reach Laoximen metro station and take metro line 10 to reach Hongqiao railway station directly. Both options are convenient to use.

Asked by Chasidy from SPAIN | May. 15, 2019 02:20

Will the ticket counter in Hongqiao Station open in the early morning?

I plan to take 8:15am train to Taishan. Or am I possible to collect the ticket the night before after my flight landing at 9:45pm?

I think a few counters there begin work at 5:30am. It should not be a problem. Not sure if the counter will still in service after 10pm. You can have a try. If you will stay in a hotel the night of landing, you can use delivery service. It is much easy, no line up for ticket collection.
