Wuxi to Shanghai Train

Take metro line 3 at the airport to Wuxi Railway Station and catch a bullet train there to Shanghai Hongqiao. You'd better book the train ticket in advance.

The advance ticket to book is the normal train or the bullet train to Shanghai? if I missed the bullet train will there be refund or reschedule to the later timing ? I thought bullet train frequency is a lot and if there is a need to book advance?

Both the normal train and high speed train can be booked in advance. If missing the train, you can change your ticket for the closest departure at the ticket windows. There are a lot of bullet trains but to ensure a perfect schedule, booking in advance is necessary as some departures are always sold out quickly.

Thank you for your inquiry.

There are 4 railway stations named Wuxi Station, East Station, Huishan Station and New District Station. They are all different railway stations in the city. [Jiangsu] followed the names is located province. It is used to distinguish with another city also named Wuxi but in Xingjiang province. The one you need to use is the one in Jiangsu. Hope this information can help you.

Yes, it is OK to buy the ticket at station as long as you are not very strict with the train time. However, credit card never works at station. You need cash in hand!

Yes, you can collect the tickets out in advance. This will also save your time on the travel date. If you have the paper ticket in hand, 40min in advance at station would be surely enough.

To reach the station, you can use metro service. Heliekou metro station on line 2 is about 600m away from the hotel. You can take line 1 to Sanyang Square and then change to line 1 to reach the station taking around 30min. Taxi is around 20mi and cost around CNY20. Both are OK.
