Hangzhou to Wuzhen
It is recommended to take the high-speed rail from Hangzhou Chengzhan Railway Station and get off at Tongxiang Station
There is a direct bus K282 from Tongxiang Station of the high-speed rail to Wuzhen
I really don’t recommend going to Hangzhou Passenger Transport Center to take express trains. Hangzhou Passenger Transport Center is far away from downtown Hangzhou. It takes 1.5 hours by bus.
If you are traveling to Wuzhen, one day is enough. There is no need to stay in a hotel in Wuzhen. Cheap
