Anyway, the airport to city shuttle bus has different seats with the bus that ply Hangzhou to Shanghai by Jetstar. IMO, there are comfortable.

 

[tycosiao]

You need not but you could.

As to where to board the bus, the information is available here. Hangzhou shuttle service to Shanghai | Jetstar

 

[May0102]

Thanks for response. Please advise how to prebook the shuttle bus ticket from Singapore. Had tried calling Jetstar only to be told that the shuttle bus is not operated by them and thus not able to get the tickets thru' them.

[johnsonheng]

they usually have a last bus for the last flightfor the day.

but however.
from the city to hangzhou airport.
the bus stop operating at 9 pm.

 

[johnsonheng]

so when you drop off.
please head for the main gate or ask around for the direction for the bus.
i think it cost 20 rmb.

40 min drive.

 

[tycosiao]

backup plan could be to catch a cab
2nd backup plan is to catch a black cab

there! all contingencies planned for u haha

I would add on to the list.

If you miss the shuttle bus to Shanghai from HZ.

Don't fret, head into HZ city, find a motel168, bunk in for the night and catch a train/bus to Shanghai the next morning.

Cabbing to Shanghai from HZ is just not worth it IMO.

Hangzhou should not just be a transit. I enjoy Hangzhou a great deal over Shanghai.

Agree
HZ so much nicer than SH
SH air quality alone sucks

 

[May0102]

Anyone can advise on how to go to Wu Zhen from Hanzhou. Have booked a room WuZhen Guest house for one night.

 

[beanstalk6]

Google.
"Buses depart each 30 min - 1 hr from Hangzhou Jiubao Bus Station(九堡客运中心). Ticket is about 30 Y, time is 1hr."

 

[May0102]

Thanks for the info. Have not booked any hotels in hangzhou yet. Appreciated recommendations for hotels that are at convenient locations. Thanks.

 

[beanstalk6]

Convenient in terms of what? Google Maps.

 

[May0102]

Sorry, should have give more information on the request.
Convenient as :
- near train or bus stations which can easily bring us to places of interest in Hangzhou.
- near shopping and eating areas
As this is our (2 senior citizens) first trip to China, I am being more kaisu, thought i better find more details before setting off on this trip.
Thanks.

Try this if budget is not a concern. Around S$100-S$120 per night. Walking distance to shopping area and Xihu.
