What's the best way from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Suzhou

Hi, to who may concern, I will be in Suzhou for Bussiness in Sep, will fly to Shanghai first, could you let me know the best/fastest way from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Suzhou. Thanks!

Replied:09 August 2018

Dear Roger, 

Taking bullet train ( G trains) from Shanghai to Suzhou is the most comfortable and convenient way, G train is the fastes among trains, it takes around 25-30 minutes from Shanghai train station to Suzhou train station and costs around CNY40. You can take taxi/subway from airport to Shanghai train station first and take train to Suzhou.


Some options listed as below for your reference:
1). Take Shanghai Pudong Airport Suttle Bus to Suzhou, it costs CNY 84 and takes around 2.5 hours for one way.
2). Take subway directly to Shanghai Hongqiao station and take bullet train to Suzhou
3). Take taxi to Shanghai train station or Shanghai Hongqiao station (Shanghai station is closer) and take bullet train to Suzhou
4). Take taxi to Suzhou directly. it takes around 2.5 hours and costs around CNY500 for one way


ps: 
1. Subway starts around 6am every day.
2. Shanghai Pudong Airport Shuttle Bus starts at 10am and ends 19:50pm, almost 30minutes one shuttle bus. It costs CNY84
3. If you want to be in Suzhou as early as possible, it seems taking taxi is better for you.


Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or need any help. Thanks!

Suzhou Day Tour from Shanghai by Train

My husband and I will be disembarking from our cruise (Celebrity Millennium) at Shanghai on Sep 25. We are from HK and my husband is Shanghainese, and we have been to Shanghai many times. This time, we want to visit Suzhou for a day, see the gardens and canals, also visit the Suzhou Museum.

We will be flying back to HK from Pudong Airport around 6pm on Sep 26. We can either spend the night of Sep 25 in Pudong or Suzhou, but taking our luggage with us to Suzhou would be a problem. So we plan to stay in Shanghai near the Pudong Airport after getting off the cruise. We can then take an early morning train from Shanghai Railway station to Suzhou on Sep 26, but we have to be back to Pudong before 5pm to take or flight back to HK.

We probably only have 5-6 hours in Suzhou on wednesday, Sep 26. Please let us know if this is feasible and how much it costs for a private tour. We do not mind joining other

people with similar interests.

Than you.
