Quick Answers: Beijing Travel FAQ
How far is Hangzhou from Shanghai and how to get there?
Hangzhou is 45-60 minutes from Shanghai by high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao Station. Trains run every 15-30 minutes from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. First-class tickets cost around ¥117 ($16). Driving takes 2-3 hours depending on traffic.
What is the best time to visit Hangzhou?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times. In spring, West Lake is surrounded by blooming peach and plum blossoms, and the weather is 15-25°C. Autumn offers crisp air, golden gingko trees, and the famous Qiantang River tidal bore in September. Summer (June-August) is hot and humid (30-38°C). Winter is cold (0-10°C) but peaceful with fewer tourists.
Is one day enough for Hangzhou?
A day trip from Shanghai is possible — take the 7:00 AM train, arrive by 8:00 AM, spend the day visiting West Lake, Lingyin Temple, and Hefang Street, then return by 8:00 PM. However, 2-3 nights are recommended for a full experience: Day 1 — West Lake boat cruise + Lingyin Temple + Longjing tea tasting; Day 2 — Wuzhen Water Town day trip; Day 3 — Moganshan bamboo forest or Grand Canal cruise.
What is Hangzhou famous for besides West Lake?
Hangzhou is famous for Longjing (Dragon Well) tea — China's most famous green tea, grown in the hills around West Lake. The Grand Canal (UNESCO) — the world's longest canal at 1,776 km — runs through Hangzhou. The Lingyin Temple is one of China's largest and most important Buddhist temples. Hangzhou is also known for Dongpo pork, a famous Song Dynasty dish.
