Suzhou-Hangzhou Train

There are 41 pairs of trains running between  Suzhou and Hangzhou currently: 26 pairs of them are bullet trains with duration of 1.5 – 2 hours; the other 15 are normal types with travel time of 2.5 – 5.5 hours.

In addition, you can travel by coach. But usually, the coaches are not as punctual as trains and the environment is not that good. In this case, rail ride is the first choice.
 

Altogether 26 pairs of them run daily between the two cities: 22 pairs of them are G types running for taking 1h22m – 2h4m at a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h) with the distance of 149 miles (240 km); and the other 4 pairs are D types which run for a length of 151 miles (243 km) with duration of 1h42m – 2h12m and the highest operation speed is 155 mph (250 km/h). Besides, the ticket fare for G types is higher than that for D types. And some G types also provide business class seats.

Most of them just stop intermediately in the two cities for a short time. Therefore, you should listen to the broadcast notices carefully and get prepared for on /off beforehand.

More than one railway stations are available in the two cities:

 In Suzhou, the rides are operated at Suzhou Railway Station, North Railway Station, and Industrial Park Railway Station. Suzhou Railway Station is closer to the city center compared with the other two. Although a little far from the city center, transportation around the North Railway Station is very convenient and you can take subway line 2 from here to the downtown area; besides, specialized in high speed rides, the station has more bullets to other cities. As for the Industrial Park Station, the schedule is not as dense as the other two; but if you stay near it and the schedule fits, it will be nice to use it.

 In Hangzhou, only one pair of them numbered as G7354/G7353 use Hangzhou Railway Station, the main station and the other 22 pairs use the East Railway Station. Obviously, there are more arrivals and departures at East Railway Station for passengers’ convenience. However, main station is located closer to the city center, West Lake, Wulin Square and the clothes market; if the G7354/G7353 fits your time, it may be more convenient to use this station.

Except the above-mentioned stations, they pass by those stations: Kunshan South, Jinshan North, Songjiang South, Tongxiang, Jiashan South, Jiaxing South, Haining West, and Yuhang.
