Question on Hangzhou taxi, Wuzhen and Grand Canal.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Firstly, many thanks to Jessie for her kind answers.

I have a few more questions about Hangzhou which I plan to visit from 27 to 29 Dec 2011. Will stay at Crystal Orange Hotel - 122 Qingbo Street (Qingbo Jie).

a) Is it easy to get a taxi in Hangzhou by waiting at the roadside? If I call for taxi by telephone, is it easy to get one? I also read that waiting for taxi at Hangzhou railway station takes a long time (45 minutes). Is this true?

b) Is the West Lake frozen during winter? If not, can I take boat rides on the lake? Where do I get the tickets and get on the boat?

c) How far is Red Carp Pond from my hotel? Do I need to take taxi? How long will it take and what is the cost (fare)?

d) Will the waters in Wuzhen be frozen during my visit? What is there to do in Wuzhen? Will half day be enough for Wuzhen?

e) Will Grand Canal be frozen during my visit? What is there to do at Grand Canal? I read somewhere tht I can take a boat ride. How much does it cost? Where do I buy the ticket and board the boat?

Thanks in advance for the kind replies.

Hi Kim, hereunder are the answers for your questions, hope it is helpful:
1. It will be difficult to take a taxi during the rush hour. I suggest you take a taxi before 16:30, which will be easier. Yes, you can call for a taxi in advance by telephone.
2. Genrally, both the West Lake and Wuzhen will not be frozen and take a boat there is ok. Half a day is ok for you to tour the Wuzhen. The Grand Canal will not be frozen yet, the boat ride is available there, but I am not sure if you can take a boat during your visit in winter.
3. It is not far from your hotel to the Red Carp Pond. Taking a taxi will only cost you about RMB11.
