[quote=ELLYSE,310291]Impressions West Lake will run daily, and it starts at 2000. 1) Yes. Express buses depart to Tunxi at 0650, 0750, 0840, 0940, 1020, 1120, 1150, 1220, 1330, 1430, 1530, 1700 and 1800. Fare is 85 RMB and the journey time is about 3 hours. 2) Taiping is about 2 hours by bus from Tunxi. You could also choose to take the direct bus from Hangzhou West long-distance bus station to Taiping at 0620, which takes about 6 hours. This might look slower, but saves you the hassle of looking for the right bus at Tunxi. 3) 4-bed dorms are probably extinct already, since all the hotels want to squeeze more beds into each room and make more money. Dorms are now typically 8 to 12-bed. I usually book Baiyun Hotel or Guangmingding Shanzhuang as they're well-located for the West Sea Canyon hike as well as for sunrise-viewing the next morning. 4) Yes. I would be able to help you out with it -- please email me at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Linnie17) in the subject line, thanks. I did mention this above, but you seem to have ignored me... 5) Plenty of historical sights, do some reading up on it. The 2 places you mentioned are in Wuxi's outskirts. 6) Around 1.5-2 hours on the D trains. I'm just not a fan of Suzhou as I find it overpriced, overly touristy and over-hyped. 7) D train for Nanjing -- Suzhou, then bus from near Suzhou train station. 8) Shanghai South train station. You really DON'T want to take a bus to Hangzhou -- it's slower, more expensive and less comfortable. If you want to connect to your AirAsia flight, I believe there're direct shuttles from Shanghai to Hangzhou airport, run by the airline. If you've any more questions, PLEASE email me at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Linnie17) in the subject line, thanks.[/quote]
