guest37110	I want to go to Putuoshan on friday and take the overnight ferry. Does anyone know where the ticket office is (I think its not anymore in Jinling lu 1 - this building is being closed for renovation) and whats the opening hours? How much in advance can I buy the ticket? Where do the ferries actually leave? Is there a telephone number for inquiry? Any help to any of the questions is appreciated :-)

I think the tickets are sold at 59 Jinling Donglu (opening hours 0700--1730), and can be bought 2 days in advance ie you can buy Friday's tickets on Wednesday. If you speak Chinese, 63283120 might be of help.

GUEST37110	Hi, thanks! The booking office is not at Jinling Donglu anymore. Now its in Waima Lu close to Nanpu bridge - I was told. I will try the phonenumber with some help of chinese friends - maybe the easiest way...

GUEST37110	Hi, you are right - other people told me it moved indeed to jinling lu #59. And the one at Nanpu bridge should be for the fast ferries.
