Public Transport

There is an extensive and reliable bus network in Hangzhou, although bus schedules are all in Chinese only. Buses with a "Y" prefix are the ones that circulate among the tourist hot spots. Tickets can be bought directly from the driver (a bus card may be purchased at kiosks in advance). There are also 3 subway lines and 5 under construction. There are 3 railway stations in Hangzhou, Hangzhou Station, Hangzhou South Station and Hangzhou East Station. The easiest way to get to Hangzhou Station is to take the subway line 1. Other stations are served by buses. The public transportation is convenient in Hangzhou and buses serve most tourist sites. There are also bicycle rentals, with a deposit, to enjoy a journey around the West Lake.
