Tip from a friend just back from Hangzhou

Like every city (except Beijing and Shanghai) in China, exchanging money is big problem. At least change 100-200 USD at the airport when you arrive Hangzhou because you can only change money at the banks and banks ask for thousands of procedures to change even 10 USD.

Train service to HGH

WARRior update information 2009


Transporation – from Shangahi airport to city

Option 1:
Shanghai Maglev train to Longyang Road metro station then taxi to hotel option to meet the gang at the hotel or go to your hotel – negotiate the fare before getting inside the taxi.

If not meeting others then to the train station from Shanghai to Hangzhou.


Maglev train is the fast train – 30kn trip in 8 mins *this will be an experience!

** when buying the train ticket – ask for added fare to Hangzhou via train if traveling the same day to Hangzhou.

One way fare from Shanghai airport to metro station is 50 Yuan which is approximately $7.94 Canadain so connecting train to Hangzhou will be a bit more.

Note- passengers with a current day flt ticket can buy an one way fare for the train at 20% discount.


Option 2: If not stopping in Shanghai and continuing from the airport directly to Hangzhou – coach bus –

Cost is approximately 100 RMB (Yuan) per person which is about $15.88 Canadian

Times for the coach bus is –0930, 1050, 1200, 1330, 1530, 1730 or 1930
