Hi, I am planning a 4 days 3-night trip to Hangzhou.1) May I know which card is recommended to buy if I will be taking the metro & buses on this trip? Is there a 4 days card pass for Hangzhou? 2) Can this transport card buy at Hangzhou East Railway Station or any of the metro stations? 3) How much is one card? & can it be paid with cash or an international credit card like MasterCard/Visa?

Thanks. Then does that mean that I'll have to get another card besides the subway card, which is the Xi Ling card if I'll need to take the bus also?Is there a 3-day Xiling card? & where can I buy the Xi Ling Card, can it be bought at the metro station too?

The 3-day metro pass can only be used to take metro. To take bus, you need another transportation card, or simply use the city bus app attached on the WeChat, if you have an account. I prefer the app, which requires no deposit.

This is a normal transportation card for both buses and metros, calling 'Hangzhou Tong'. It can also be bought at a metro station.
