Once you arrive in Hangzhou, you can take a taxi to Lingfeng Shanzhuang/ Lily Hotel/ Yuquan Hotel (around 20RMB). Please download the hotel address card in both Chinese and English. You can show it to the taxi driver in case you have difficulty in communication.
It is also an option to fly into Shanghai and then take a train from Shanghai Station to Hanghzou Station (or Hangzhou East Station). The train journey is between one hour and 20 minutes to three hours depending on which train you catch. You can take a taxi from the airport to Shanghai South Railway Station or Shanghai Railway Station. When you go to the booth in the train station to buy the ticket, write down on a piece of paper the time and date of departure, destination, and number of tickets you want to buy. Show this paper to the clerk at the booth in order to avoid a misunderstanding. There are four classes of tickets available: Soft sleeper, hard sleeper, soft seater, and hard seater. Soft seaters are very comfortable. Hard seaters are the lowest class of them all, and the cheapest.
From Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport：
If you fly from abroad to Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, you can take a taxi to the hotel. The fare is around RMB120. You can also choose to take the airport shuttle bus to downtown.
