00ReplyHello,Mr.BHAVESH
There is no direct flight flying there from Beijing. You can get from Beijing to Hangzhou first and then make a transfer. Or you can just take train from Beijing. There is a direct one.

00ReplyYou can take either train or plane. There is one train Z9 going there from Beijing , it leaves at 19:26 and would take 14 hours to reach the destination.
You can also go there by air, you can take flight from Beijing to Hangzhou and there is shuttle bus from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport to your destination.
