How to get to Wuxi from Shanghai?
Mar 19, 2010 09:01
guestDiva Hi,
This is my second trip to Shanghai. I heard from people that the biggest textile market nearby Shanghai is in Wuxi? I'm staying at soffitel (people's park area), Could anyone tell me how to get to Wu Xi from my hotel? I'm not in hurry, so I'm planning on taking train or bus.
other thing , Is there any other big textile market nearby Shanghai? My first trip I went to lu jia bang lu and qi bu lu but it isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for really big textile market. Plz help. Thank You :)

Shanghai to Wuxi have D-train every hour, have bus and other train too. It is a journey of hour from Shanghai.
Suzhou city good for textile market, many town under Suzhou deals with these items.
Suzhou in between Wuxi and Shanghai.

Keqiao district of Shaoxing city, in Zhejiang district, perhaps?
There're a lot of D trains between Shanghai and Wuxi. Trains leave from Shanghai main train station.

Just a minor correction. "Mandarin" refers to one of the spoken forms of Chinese. If you're looking for the written script, it's Chinese characters.
Trains to Wuxi and Suzhou will leave from Shanghai main train station. Trains to Suzhou do NOT leave from Shanghai South train station, please!!!
I see that you've chosen to ignore my suggestion of Keqiao. Hmph?!

Yes, Ellyse is right

Trains to Wuxi and Suzhou will leave from Shanghai main train station. Trains to Suzhou do NOT leave from Shanghai South train station.

Keqiao is a district of Shaoxing city, in Zhejiang province. Suzhou and Wuxi are both cities in Jiangsu province. However I don't know the names or locations of the textile markets.
Suzhou is closer than Keqiao. However I thought Keqiao is more prominent for textiles than Suzhou is.
To get to Keqiao from Shanghai, take a D train or long-distance bus Shanghai -- Shaoxing and then a taxi to Keqiao. It would be wise to know where exactly you're going in Keqiao so that the driver can know where to drop you!

GUESTSOFIE Thank you Ellyse for the brief explanation.
So anyone know the market name in Ke Qiao? or maybe the chinese character and pinyin that I can show to the cab driver? Thx:)
