Zhangjiagang Travel Forum

Hi!
My husband is an expat staying in Zhangjiagang Province.
He has some business to do in Shanghai but cannot go there alone.
He is considering to hire a taxi based in Zhangjiagang.
How much is a taxi fare from Zhangjiagang then drop off to Shanghai - U.S. Embassy. And then goin back to Zhangjiagang after he is done in Shanghai.

I don't understand. Is there some special reason that he cannot take normal public transport ie buses?

I assume you're talking about the city of Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu Province. In that case, it's an hour and a half to Shanghai... I'd take the train!

There is no train from Zhangjiagang to Shanghai.But there is bus you can take.It goes like this:1.go to the local bus station by a taxi(or any other ways you prefer).2.buy a ticket from Zhangjiagang to Shanghai.I guess the ticket costs RMB20 or so.3.after arrived Shanghai,go out of the station and take a taxi to wherever you want.

I suggest your husband go to shanghai by a buy instead of a taxi,it is much more expensive,besides,the cab driver is not famliar with the roads in Shanghai,and there are more fees for a cab from places out of Shanghai.In conclusion,take a taxi from Zhangjiagang to Shanghai,it will cost more,both money and time.

Agree with the points made by freeroaming above.
