Hangzhou has a well-developed highway network. There are 9 artery highways: Hu Hang Expressway, Hang Ning Expressway, Hang Yong Expressway, Hang Jin Qu Expressway, 104 National Highway, 320 National Highway, 01, 02 and 03 Provincial Highways. The roads are connected with other roads leading to counties and cities in the suburbs by the city-surrounding highway, making the transportation more convenient. Now starting from Hangzhou you can get to some big-middle cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Ningbo and Jinhua and tourist areas such as the Yellow Mountains and Wu Town. It takes only less than 4 hours to get to any provincial cities in Zhejiang province.

Shipping Transportation(Waterway)

There are mainly two freshwater routes to go into and out of Hangzhou city through waterway, namely the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Qiantang River. At present the only waterway passenger transport available is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal which provides Hangzhou-Suzhou tourist route. The feature of this route is that the travel boats set off in the evening and reach Suzhou in the morning without stop. You can have a good sleep in the boat and find yourself in Suzhou when awake. It is economical (you don't need to pay for the hotel expenses) and time-saving and will not take up the time of traveling in the daytime.
