Travelling to Shanghai by April. Ilang hours kaya travel time from Shanghai to Hangzhou?

[vain_kixie]

Approx 1 hour 30 mins lang siya by train.

Here's the schedule : http://www.chinatrainguide.com/shanghai-railway-station/hangzhou.html

^ Thank you sis. Have you been to Hangzhou? Mahirap kaya magsidetrip dun if you don't speak Mandrain?

[vain_kixie]

Sis I havent been. Beijing, Dalian, Harbin and Shanghai palang ang napupuntahan ko sa China.

Diy lang yung ginawa namin ni hubby for all 4 cities and we don't speak Mandarin at all. As in Ni Hao
lang alam namin.

Sa hotel mo palang sis, ask the receptionist to write down your destination in Mandarin. For everything
else there's tripadvisor Kaya yan Hangzou, 2 hours lang from Shanghai. Madali lang yan. Yung
napuntahan namin ni hubby mga province pa talaga sa northern part of China ng survive kami. Research lang
talaga ng how to's sa tripadvisor.

^ Thanks for the tip. I've been to Beijing palang and so far nakasurvive naman. Sayang din kasi if hindi pa pupunta ng Hangzhou kun malapit lang rin naman sa Shanghai. Thanks ulit.

^Hi Sis. Hubby and I will be going to Shanghai on April too. April 19-23. When kayo?

Would you be interested to share sa "tour guide" fee, if ever?

[eischied_21]

^ Sis, april 18-19 (Beijing), april 19-21 (Fri-Sun) with my friend. Just wondering kun applicable ba mag tour guide sa Shanghai? Parang wala naman kasi masyadong tourist spots sa Shanghai unlike Beijing. Based sa research ko more on shopping lang sya.

To all: Ilang days ba ang required to tour Shanghai less shopping?

[pbrg]

we're going din, april 11-14 sa shanghai (my first time)... we're staying at Lanson Place, honestly, no idea ako where to go/ shop... we're group of 12 and most of them madalas dun and they know where to go, so di ko need ng itinerary...
 meron bang any mall na malapit sa hotel na pwede ko puntahan just in case may extra time

[delphinos2005]

Hi Sis Eischied,

We're interested to join a half day bike tour, which I saw from tripadvisor.
20km yung total bike length around Shangahai. 

If 1-2 persons, $70USD/pax sya. If 3-4, $60/head, if 5 or more, $50/head.

^ sis delphinos2005, sige sabihan ko muna yun friend ko kun gusto nya rin. Pero medyo pricey din sya a.

Please share your must visit places in Shanghai, shopping and itinerary for a 4 day stay in Shanghai...

[delphinos2005]

We still don't have a place to stay. I got sick for 2 weeks last march, and then I got busy planning our family holy week vacation.

Hay, I am getting stressed na. Any suggestions? I want one sana that's accessible to all must see places.

I've searched back in Feb, and I remember choosing between Baron Hotel something, and another hotel near Pearl yata yun.

Any help or recommendation, sisses?

Hi mga sis, how much ngayon ang visa to shanghai. And pano process nila ngayon.
This is my second time pero can't remember how to get it e. ilang days release ng visa? And dapat ba may flight ticket ka na
 na bago mag apply visa?

[juicy]

i'm thinking of squeezing Shanghai sa itinerary ko ng pa-Beijing. 

sana sana pwede... backread pa ako

[vain_kixie]

You can take a train, 5 hours daw. Kami we flew to Shanghai from Dalian. I dont know lang if
its the CRH train na or the smoke machine/regular train (where people can smoke- pamatay ito swear).

I will never forget my train experience from Beijing to Harbin. I thought I would die of carbon monoxide (exagerated lang). Yosi ng yosi sila tapos pumapasok sa loob. I vow to never take a train in China unless its the CRH or Maglev.

[eischied_21]

^^Pwede naman magside trip to Shanghai from Beijing by taking high speed train (CRH).

[juicy]

thanks.. but is 1 whole day enough for shanghai? (excluding travel)

[vain_kixie]

okay narin sis if your only goal is too have your picture taken sa the bund and some other attractions. At least 2 days sana.
Mas mura nga pala ng goods (non branded) sa Shanghai than Beijing.

[kurengkeng]

mukang walang masyadong nagpupunta ng shanghai? heheh

i booked a flight na, end of octgober. china eastern airlines. goodluck to me. buhay kaya ako makakarating
ng shanghai given the negative feedbacks sa internet. nyar.

[vain_kixie]

Because of China Eastern?

We flew with them from Dalian to Shanghai. Okay naman buhay pa ako hehe. Food was okay, service was okay.
Parang same lang sila ng PAL for me.
