I am deciding whether to fly directly to Hangzhou from the U.S. or to fly to Shanghai Pudong airport and then take the bullet train to Hangzhou from Hongqiao station. If I fly into Shanghai Pudong, the plane arrives at 5:45 p.m. I believe there are three options: 1) take the Maglev to Longyang Road and then take the #2 subway, 2) take the Maglev to Longyang Road, and then take a taxi from there to Hongqiao station, or 3) take a taxi from Pudong the whole way to Hongqiao station.

What option do you recommend, and how long will it take? I will have luggage with me and will have just flown for 17 hours.
