Hi all,can anyone inform me of the best way to get from Shanghai to Changsha/Hunan.
Staying in Shanghai for 4 days and need to visit in Changsha.Is it best to arrange a driver,get a taxi (cost) or use transport.
Unsure of distance so finding it hard to plan my trip.
Thank you in advance of any help...Cheers...

It's over 1200 km away from Shanghai to Changcha!! You need a train or flight, I'm afraid.
You can take K136 which starts from Shanghai at 13.58 and arrives at Changsha at 8.27 the third day.
You can also take a flight. There are many flights from Shanghai to Changsha and they will cost you less than 2 hours.

Eh... I'd love to help, but I can't if you don't know where you're going! Drop me an email at ellyse99ATyahoo.com (substitute @ for AT and mention your username on TravelChinaGuide please, thanks) if you'd like me to recommend my regular cabbie.

Thanks again for all your replies.
Well I made it there and back.
Totally stuffed up with my directions from australia but sorted it out from Shanghai.
Had a great trip and arrived back in oz yesterday via HK.
My trip
1 hour flight from Shanghai to Wenzhou then 2 hour drive to where I wanted to be.Great people and things went smoothly with a translator.
I was really ignorant thinking that everone speaks english ...and appreciate that "there are more of them than us" so next time I shall try to be more flexible and try and learn a little of the local language....]
A great learning experience and great friendships were established...
again thanks to all for your replies...
Cheers,Ian...
