I am staying at the Sofitel Hotel hyland. How do i get to the departure place?

You need to reach Shiliupu Wharf (十六铺码头) to take the cruise. The bus route is complicated. You need to walk around 300 meters to find No.805 (Jiujianglushandongzhonglu Station) and then take the bus to get off at the seventh station (Xinkaiheluzhongshandongerlu Station). Then you need to walk around 500 meters to find the wharf. I think the easiest way is to catch a taxi. It costs around CNY 15.
