I am trying to plan a round trip from Baltimore Maryland USA to Hangzhou China next summer.
Air Canada has some inexpensive flights from BWI Airport (Maryland) to the Shanghai China (PVG) airport. Each one way trip has one stop, in Toronto Canada. The time required for each one-way trip is just under 18 hours and the round trip price is $1812.
I would need to take a train from Shanghai to Hangzhou. There are dozens of trains each day and it appears that the cost of a one-way train ticket is $16-US. I would be met at the Hangzhou train station by my Chinese friend.
Is this a reasonable itinerary? What is the distance between the Shanghai (Pu Dong) airport and the train station? Is it reasonable for an American who speaks no Chinese to make this trip? Is there anyone here on RFM who is familiar with the ground transportation in China? Thanks in advance!
