You can take a train from SH South Station to Donghai County. The departure time is 20:30 and 20:52 and it takes about 10 to 12 hour to get there. Upon arrival, take a taxi to the market.

Maple, there is no direct bus to the market. You may need to take a taxi. The taxi fare is CNY25-35 in usual time. The distance between two places is about 9 miles (14 kilometers).
