CAKES08 Points: Join Date: Feb 21, 2008 Status: offline	I am planning a work trip to China and have questions regarding translator service and transportation between 3 places. There are two choices for the trip, it will either be as follows: Choice 1 Fly into Guangzhou (stay 3 nights) Go to Hangzhou (stay 3 nights) Day trips to Haining or Choice 2 Fly into Guangzhou (stay 3 nights) Go to Haining (stay 3 nights) I have not been able to locate much info on hotels in Haining. I am looking for advice on the following: Hotels in all 3 locations Transportation between the 3 locations (Do I fly from Guangzhou to Hangzhou? What type of transport is available between Hangzhou and Haining?) Which trip sounds easier- is it better to stay in Hangzhou and travel daily to Haining? Need translator service in all locations. Thank you very much!

I haven't been to Haining, but I'm willing to bet that you'll be able to find hotels there.
When asking about accommodation it would be wise to indicate your expected price range, dates of stay and number of occupants.
There're 2 direct trains from Guangzhou to Haining: K528 (0800--0259, 18h59min) and K48 (1300--1053, 21h53min).
Hangzhou -- Haining is a pretty short train ride (around 1 hour or less, for most trains) and there're quite a number of departures. I'm sure there're also plenty of buses.
