Tips for HGH

• Ignore touts at arrivals desks offering shuttles; use the signed taxi rank or ride-hailing bays.
• There's no SIM counter in arrivals, so set up an eSIM before you fly.
• Hangzhou is a 240-hour visa-free entry port, so you can start a Shanghai-area trip here.

Next steps

• Paying for the metro and buses in Hangzhou, with your own card or the Alipay ride code.
• An address card for the taxi driver, with your hotel in Chinese.
• Train onward from Hangzhou East Railway Station.
