Traveling to Suzhou

If you want to visit SZ city, I think you may need to go to the west side.
The industrial park is in the east side of that city, so you may need to go to the west side.
It is very easy to use the local subway line 1 to reach the city center area, which is cheap, but maybe a little bit crowded. Your hotel is close to Xinghai Square Station of line 1.

Thank you. I am aware of the Suzhou/SIP area, but am curious on how I can get to the hotel from PVG with less expense. Currently I hire the hotel to pick me up from the airport and I'm wondering if I could take the train to SIP and connect on Line 1 to get to the hotel.

Thanks,
Lynn

If so, I think you can take the airport shuttle bus to reach SZ diectly and the shuttle bus stops at SIP Times Square. Upon reaching that square and then you can take a taxi to reach your hotel directly.
Or you can try to look the Times Square Station of local subway line 1 and take it to reach Xinghai Square to reach your hotel.
No matter what kind of method, I think it is cheaper than the picking-up service provided by the hotel.

You can take the #2 line subway to the Hong Qiao train station (one stop beyond Hong Qiao airport). From there you can get a train to SZ. Suzhou now has 3 train stations. One does go to SIP directly, but I'm not sure the name of the station. I usually go to the main SZ train station which is near downtown. Regardless, this may answer the question you have.
