I ll be going to Shanghai in december, then going to Hangzhou from there. There are 2 railway stations in shanghai, the trains to hangzhou only leave from the southern ones? I notice alot more hotel options in the north, so was thinking of staying in that area, since I ll be doing like 1 night Shanghai -> Hangzhou + others > Shanghai again. on the return, I am pretty much decided with Seagull on the bund, so just thinking of the first night's hotel.
