hi, how to go to Mudu Ancient Town from Soul Hotel Suzhou?

Answered by Emma from CANADA | Jun. 05, 2019 19:58

Walk south about 560m to take Bus Line 2 from Leqiao (乐桥) to Mudu Yan Garden (木渎严家花园). Then walk south about 100m to the town. It takes about 1h and the bus fare is CNY1.

Asked by TonyM from USA | Sep. 24, 2018 12:03

We'll be taking the train from Shanghai to Suzhou.

A few questions: 1. Which train and station in Shanghai? (we're staying at the Waldorf Astoria on The Bund). 2. Which station in Suzhou? (we're staying at the W hotel which looks to be near Line 1 stop Xinghai Square stop). 3. Is it an easy walk from Xinghai Square Station to the W hotel? ~Thank you!

You are suggested to take a bullet train from Shanghai Railway Station to SZ Railway Station.
To reach Shanghai Railway Station, you can take bus 929 directly there, and to W Hotel from SZ Station, you can take bus 26 to Siji Xinjiayuan and then walk east for 3 minutes to the hotel.
From Xinghai square, it's easy to walk to your hotel and it takes about 15 minutes.

What is the best option to travel from Suzhou Railway station to Tongli?

Metro line 4 or by bus? And how long would either take? Thank you!

Answers (1)

Answered by Ferry from GREECE | Aug. 26, 2018 20:52

You can take Metro line 4 to Gujiadang anf then get out of the Exit 3. Walk about 5 minutes to take Bus Line 735 to Tongli. It takes about 1.5 hours and is the most convenient way other than taxi.
