[quote=CAMBELT,263700]Hi John H, I went through the same questions when my daughter was going to Nottingham-Ningbo so I'm glad to help share her experiences.... I emailed her and this was her response: "This is the best and easiest way to get to UNNC. As soon as you come out of the arrivals area go straight outside and get the number 7 bus- make sure you get on this bus to the shanghai south station, there is another bus which goes to shanghai central station, but as long as you get on the 7 bus you should be ok. The journey takes about 1 hour depending on the traffic, but the bus is comfortable and I am pretty sure it only costs 8 kuai. The bus drops you right outside the shanghai south bus/train station (incidentally people will try and take your luggage from you - many of them are just trying to be helpful but I know there are pickpockets working here.) The bus station entrance is on the main road, and the ticket to Ningbo costs between 90 kuai and 110 kuai. The journey takes between 3 and 4 hours depending on traffic, but is still the quickest and easiest way to get to Ningbo- the coaches are actually far more comfortable than those in the UK. They leave Shanghai once every hour, so you won't be waiting long. There is a taxi rank right outside the Ningbo bus station, and depending on the time of day it is fairly easy to get a taxi- however if you arrive between 4:30 and 5pm the wait will be a little bit longer because of a shift change. It is best to get into the green taxis as the blue ones are more expensive and the drivers are far more reckless! The journey should cost no more than 25 yuan. The university is around 12 km away from the station. The taxi drivers usually know where the university is, but as it is relatively new, sometimes they can be difficult- if you have an address card this would be helpful, but usually if you just say- Noddingham daxue- they can usually figure it out. I hope this helps! Good luck!" [/quote]
