Effortless Day Trip: Shanghai to Suzhou by Metro
Discovering the Easiest Route
Just back from Shanghai and stumbled upon a super simple way to reach beautiful Suzhou! After studying the Shanghai metro map, I figured out a seamless connection that I had to share.
The Journey Begins: Shanghai Metro Line 11
First, hop on the Shanghai Metro Line 11 and ride it all the way to Huaqiao Station.
Seamless Transfer at Huaqiao
Once you arrive at Huaqiao Station, get off the train. Here's the magic: you can directly transfer to the Suzhou Metro Line 11! The stations are conveniently located in the same building, with clear signage guiding the way – it's designed for easy transfers.
Weiting Station: Your Gateway to Suzhou
Purchase a ticket for 5 RMB to Weiting Station. If you're planning on using the Suzhou metro extensively throughout the day, consider buying a day pass right here – it might save you another 5 RMB later.
Welcome to Suzhou!
Arrive at Weiting Station, and congratulations, you're in Suzhou!
The Return Trip
For the return journey, simply follow the same steps in reverse. If you purchased a day pass, you won't need to spend any more money on fares!
