I see a suggestion of a night in Hangzhou...
Well, a single trip ticket of Transrapid costs 50 yuan.
A single second class trip on a D train to Suzhou costs 24 yuan 5 jiao. (G train would be 39 yuan 5 jiao). Trip time one way is 25 to 45 minutes.
Is a day trip by HSR to Suzhou a convenient and worthwhile addition to boredom in Shanghai?
