gendao Posted September 3, 2008 Interesting, that's coming up fast... Â What's the best way to Zhejiang from overseas? Hangzhou (HGH), Shanghai (SHA) or Nanjing (NKG) airport? Looks like HGH is the closest, if they accept a lot of international flights... So, then take a train or bus to Jinhua? How far is HGH from Jinhua? Â And is this workshop going to be conducted all in Chinese? What about for English speakers or huayi with marginal Mandarin skills? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

de_paradise Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Hi Vortex, Ive tried many methods to find the most painfree travel. Avoid train if possible, its slow, infrequent and grimy. Looks like Jinhua is less than 1 hour from Yiwu, perhaps 3-4 hours from Shanghai depending on the kind of bus route and speed. Yiwu is a major trading and business center so it has more options. I would do fly into shanghai, take airport bus to train station, take hotel near train station for a night (15-20$ options if you walk out and turn left), find where the buses are leaving to Yiwu (the ticket counter is somewhere along there), and once in Yiwu take a taxi to your Jinhua exact destination, that touristy mountain place. (headache avoided) which would probably be around $10. Direct bus or train from Shanghai to Jinhua likely leaves from a southern station, not rocket science either, but Ive never done that route, and it may include transfer in Hangzhou, and less frequent links. Many options, not a big deal either way if you are positve and patient. Use young bystanders as interpreters. Edited September 5, 2008 by de_paradise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
