The airport is located at the southern shore of Qiantang river in the Xiaoshan district. This international airport is one of he greatest in China and has connection to Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Bangkok and Singapore and to 50 Chinese cities. When arriving at the airport there are airport busses to downtown Hangzhou and Xiaoshan and other prefectures further away.

By train
To reach Hangzhou by train is no problem since there are more than 30 cities with direct rail lines connections to Hangzhou. If you arrive at the main train station (picture) at Jiancheng Road you will find yourself almost in the middle of the city. From here it’s very easy to get a taxi. There’s also the Hangzhou East Railway Station but that’s located a little bit more distant from the city centre.


By coach
In the northern part of Hangzhou lies the main long distance bus station and to here arrive most of the buses. From here you can catch a local bus into town or to the railway station if you are going further on. This is the northern bus station which neans you have arrived to the northern part of Hangzhou.

The four long distance bus stations are located in their operational direction that is if you’re heading south you will probably depart from the southern bus station if you’re going west from the western bus station and so on.
