some time in Shanghai? Do you feel like taking a break and enjoying a
good weekend getaway? What follows is a travel guide for Moganshan, a
region which might interest you.Getting to Moganshan
From Shanghai to Hangzhou you can take a train, with a total duration
of 45 minutes. From there you can pre-arrange a pick-up by a private
vehicle to take you to Moganshan. This can be coordinated with the hotel
of your choice for accommodation in Moganshan, or with your hotel in
Shanghai. Also from Hangzhou can take a taxi or a bus to Moganshan.

without making combinations of transport to your hotel in Moganshan,
which will take you about two hours and a half.

Moganshan, which takes about four hours to make the journey and leaves
from the Old North Bus Station of Shanghai with a frequency of three
buses in the morning, every day. Call in advance to check times and
schedules, however, to avoid disappointment.
