Shanghai - Ningbo trains depart from Shanghai Hongqiao, Jinshan North or Songjiang Railway Station and no train departs from Shanghai South. From your hotel to the nearest Hongqiao, take bus no. 867 at Wuzhong Rd. Hongzhong Rd. to Qingshan Rd. Hongjing Rd., then walk to take metro line 10 to Longxi Rd., then transfer to line 10 (to Hongqiao Railway Station) to the train station and catch a train there. The bus and metro journey takes about one hour, and the train trip takes 2 hours. So to arrive at Ningbo at noon, you need to set off before 8:00am from your hotel.

Thank you for your inquiry.

For round trip, you can input both "trip 1" and "trip 2" together for round trip schedule. After you choose train and seat class for both trips, you can input passenger and contact information and submit the booking online. There is no any discount offered for round trip, the price will be doubled on one way ticket.

Both ways are workable. There are around 50 high speed rides a day from Hongqiao to Ningbo. So it should not be a problem to get a ticket on the day. Or you can do it at station days in advance too if your time allows. If you want to guarantee a ticket early in advance, you can choose to book online in advance.

There is a long distance bus station near Ningbo Railway Station. From there, you can take a long distance bus to Shenjiamen bus station. Then you can take a bus or taxi to Banshengdong or Zhujiajian Port and finally go to Putuo Mountain by ferry.
