The best mode of transport from Shanghai to Suzhou is to take train and get off in Suzhou or Suzhou Industrial Park Railway Station. Maybe it will be more convenient to take a taxi from the two Suzhou Railway Stations to the hotel. And the location of "Jinling Guanyuan International Hotel" is shown below: ò Suzhou Railway Station (by taxi): 20 minutes ò Suzhou Industrial Park Railway Station (by taxi): 25 minutes ò Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (by taxi): 1 hour ò Pudong International Airport (by taxi): 2.5 hour
