You have to toggle between Google and Baidu.
Google map to estimate the route from point to point while Baidu would show the public transport or bus number which able to take. My Chinese not very good too but if I remember correctly, Google map won't be able to help plan the public transport route but Baidu does the job.

thanks.
unfortunately, reading maps in chinese would be very tough for me. first, need to translate english location to chinese which google translate may help sometimes only.

I am trying to search for apps (in english) that can help plan the public transport route

1 - for hotels, check Agoda, Booking, Hotels, Tripadvisor, etc, for reviews, etc on the metro/subway stations that's nearest to the hotels.

2 - with the information from point 1, print out the metro/subway map.

3 - the travelchinaguide has some pretty good information on transportation to the attractions/sights

4 - wikitravel usually will list the bus service numbers (though it may not be updated)
