 | Yes, there 5 hostels which are officially affliated to the global IYH network. Water Town IYH: http://www.watertownhostel.com Mingtown Suzhou IYH: http://www.yhachina.com/ Joya IYH: http://www.joyahostel.com Minghantang IYH: http://www.mhthostel.com Tao Hua Woo IYH: http://www.taohuawoo.com What do you mean by "Hangzhou airport (Shanghai)"? I presume you're quoting the AirAsia website, and you're arriving at Hangzhou airport. Be aware that it's not in Shanghai, Hangzhou is a separate city on its own. There're direct buses from Hangzhou to Suzhou for 95 RMB/pax. If you're arriving at 1400 then you won't be in time to catch the 1400 departure, the next available one is at 1530. Yes, bus should be the best option for you.The Pudong airport -- Suzhou bus should stop somewhere on Jingde Lu. Your hotel is definitely not within walking distance, but getting a taxi there (have the hotel name and address in Chinese characters for everyone's benefit) should not be expensive. 1) Longyang Lu is far from being "downtown Shanghai". It's still quite in the boonies of Pudong. I believe the Maglev runs at a frequency of about 20 mins or so. 2) Longyang Lu is on line 2, you'll need to change at People's Square (be aware that this is longer than the NS-NE Line distance at Outram Park, and much more crowded!) to line 1. Alight at Shanghai main train station. Fare is 4 RMB and I would allow around 45 mins. Seriously though, if you wish to go to Shanghai main train station it would be far less hassle and overall cheaper to take airport shuttle no.5 from Pudong airport -- this should take no more than aound 75 mins. 3) If you get a D train, 26-31 mins. Also, if you're going to Suzhou, it would be easier to get the direct bus from Pudong airport (84 RMB/pax), departure times 1420, 1450, 1520 etc. You should 4) IMHO, too long. On my 1st visit to Suzhou I stayed 3 days and that was quite enough, saw most (if not all) of the major sights and more gardens than I cared for. Note that if you go to lots of gardens it's going to get pretty expensive, IMHO 3 would be the max unless you're a horticultualist, photographer, botanist etc. If you have so many days, why not go to other surrounding destinations as well? |

| Yes, there's a direct bus from Suzhou to Pudong airport. The fastest would be to take a D train to Shanghai main train station and then a taxi to Pudong airport. What time is your flight out? |

| GUEST44142 | We are travelling to Shanghai in Aug/10 and are arriving a day earlier than the tour group so we will loose the transfer to our hotel, Grand Hyatt, There will be 4 of us and we will have 1 to two bags each. I do not know the flight number yet so I do not know what time of day we will arrive. What is the best way to get to our Hotel? And do you know anyone that can give us a tour of the city the next day? |

| A normal taxi would not be enough to hold all of you and your luggage. The Grand Hyatt is at Lujiazui metro stop on line 2 (direct from Pudong airport), but there's a bit of a walk to the hotel and I'm not sure if you'd like doing that with luggage, so IMHO arranging for a direct transfer would be best. If you need help with the airport transfer or guiding the next day, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username in the subject line. |

| GUEST40146 | Hi, may I know the taxi service from Pudong to Suzou Shangrila hotel available during late nite at about 11pm because I will be arrive the Airport by that time. |

| Taxi drivers will not be keen at all to do such a long trip (especially going out of Shanghai city) at such a late hour. I would advise you to arrange for an airport transfer. If you've any more queries, email to yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username in the subject line. |

| GUEST18768 | Hi, we'll be in Suzhou at the end of the month and will fly off from Pudong Airport. Our flight is early in the morning at 10am. Appreciate if you can advise what will be the easiest and most reliable way of travelling from Suzhou to arrive in Pudong Airport about 8am (2hrs before the flight for check-in). Thank you very much for you kind assistance. |

| I don't think the direct bus from Suzhou to Pudong airport will run early enough for you. You might want to consider taking the earliest D train, D5459 (0627--0709) and then a taxi to Pudong airport. I'm sure you'll arrive at the airport before 0830, which should be reasonable. |
