Get around[edit]
By plane[edit]
Zhejiang is a very small province, it usually makes sense to prefer train over plane whenever possible considering both money and time.
By train[edit]
High-speed rail is most recommended. Most of the cities and towns in Zhejiang has at least one fast train station.
By taxi[edit]
Most cities have taxi providers, though online taxing platforms like Didi may be preferred.
See[edit]
- Wuzhen (乌镇) is located on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and also around a net-work of other smaller canals and rivers. The town has numerous bridges, ancient harbors and water-side pavilions, and makes an excellent complimentary side-trip for visitors staying in nearby Hangzhou. Buses ply the route from Hangzhou to Wuzhen.
- The China Danxia landscape near Jianglangshan is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
