The shuttle bus from the airport to Hangzhou stops at 20:00 and the last bullet train from Shanghai to Hangzhou is at 21:52. So you need to stay in Shanghai for a night and take the bullet train to Hangzhou the next morning.
You can book a hotel near People's Square. In this way, after you get off the plane, you can take the Night Line to the People's Square and go to your hotel. The next morning, you can take the subway line 2 from People's Square to Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station and take the bullet train to Hangzhou there.
