Questions & Answers on Beijing to Suzhou Train

Asked by Maria from SINGAPORE | Dec. 15, 2024 23:30

Best to take bullet train from Beijing to Suzhou or Shanghai to Suzhou?

Hi! I'm travelling from Beijing to Shanghai and would like to visit Suzhou. Should I take a bullet train directly from Beijing to Suzhou or from Beijing to Shanghai, then proceed to Zuzhou? Thanks!

Answers (1)

Answered by Janice | Dec. 16, 2024 17:54

I personally recommend to arrive in Shanghai first then proceed to Suzhou if you haven't been in Shanghai because Shanghai is also one of the most popular tourist cities with the most famous attractions like the Bund, Yu Garden, City God Temple, Zhujiajiao Water Town, Shanghai Museum and so on. Shanghai - Suzhou trains are many.

Products not allowed

I was told you can't take deodorant, hair spray or anything like that on the high speed train.
Does anyone know if this is correct

In fact the policy says each passenger can take one less than 120ml, but stations are more strict with it recently. Some stations may take them away from your luggage. So it is very recommended to have them in your luggage.

Hi, if we will reach Suzhou North Station at 11pm, is there still metro service to Shantang?

Answered by Lambert from GERMANY | Sep. 20, 2019 00:08

The time is a little bit rush, I think the last ride should be at 11:10pm, so you only have 10min to catch it. Wish you a good luck!

Please kindly help me about the route to Cendre Hotel Tiger Hill

I will take G117 from Beijing South Station to Suzhou North Station. Could you please guide me the routes to the hotel? Thanks

Answered by Helena from USA | Apr. 14, 2019 17:30

Well, G117 will reach North Station. You may consider to take line 2 to Shilu first and exit from gate No. 12. Then walk about 300m to reach a bus station for bus You 1 (North Line) to go to Guanjingxincun, after 3 stops. The bus stop is about 200m away. Taxi would be more directly, about 30min on the way.
