Answered by Mile from SINGAPORE | Dec. 19, 2017 21:00

As I know, no bus goes to the town.
You can take a bullet train from SH Railway Station to Suzhou, and it takes about 30 minutes, CNY39.5 for a second class seat, CNY59.5 for a first one.
After arrival, you can take Bus 64 to Lingyangshan, which is inside the Mudu Town.

Do you want to know the departure time of the shuttle bus to Tongli?
As I know, the bus from Hongkou is not in service.
As a result, you can take a taxi to SH Long-Distance Bus Station. Then you may catch a direct coach to Tongli. This bus operates from 07:00 to 18:15 with the interval of about 35-55 minutes. The ticket fare is CNY36/person.

Hi, dear! You can book the bus ticket from the official website of Shanghai General Bus Station. The booking system only has a Chinese version, so you may ask your Chinese friends or hotel staff for help. The buses are available from 7:05 to 16:20, and the fare is CNY 34. ;)
