Bleh. Fine, I shall reiterate here instead. To get to Xitang from Shanghai (assuming you're not going to take the direct tourist bus from the Shanghai Stadium, or an extravagant taxi), you need to get to Jiashan first.
You have a choice of train or bus. Trains are available from Shanghai Meilong station (near Jinjiang Park metro station, line 1) or more frequently at the Shanghai main train station. Hard seat from the Shanghai main train station is about 8-16 RMB and soft seat about 13-24 RMB. Luxury buses are available at either the long-distance bus station near Shanghai main train station or Xujiahui, hourly; I prefer the latter as the buses there are faster and slightly cheaper (23 RMB). Both train and bus take about 1-1.5 hours to get to Jiashan from Shanghai.
From Jiashan, you have a choice of taking a minibus (4 RMB, 5-min frequency) or taxi (20-30 RMB per taxi, not per person) for the 20 min journey.
