Hello Bruce, the Cyclone board China on August 7, so it won''t have any problem with your river cruise on the Yanzee River by then.
Dear Chengchai,
Based on the former data and the information from the weather forecast bureau, the temperature is about 26-31° and sometimes there is a thundershower. It's the hottest season in Shanghai. Shanghai is a mordern city, most of the spots are not effected by the weather. In Sep. and Oct. it's not very hot and it's comfortable for traveling. Most people select this period for travel. If you would like to travel to China, would you mind telling me your plan? I am glad to design an itinerary for your reference. Or if you have any questions, you can contact me directly. My e-mail address is lussie@chinahighlights.com

Hi chengchai,
I am sorry to reply you so late as there is a problem with our website. I have sent an e-mai to you about the itinerary and quotation that you need. I hope this is still useful for you.
Hello, Im Ooi,
You can take the airport shuttle bus to get to the Hangzhou Railway Station (about 40 minutes running). The bus set out every 20 minutes and the price per person is CNY20. (Taking taxi from Xiaoshan Airport to your hotel costs about CNY700.)
There are a number of high speed trains ruuuning between Hangzhou and Shanghai, the station of arrival in Shanghai are Shanghai Railway Station and Shanghai Railway Southern Station. I would suggest you take the train to Shanghai Railway Station as the station is closer to your Hotel(5 kilometers distance), see the details below:
No.D5472 start at 7:49 arrive at 9:35
No.D5590 start at 11:42 arrive at 13:31
No.D5656 start at 16:51 arrive at 18:47
No.D5672 start at 20:50 arrive at 22:31
Once you arrive to the Shanghai Railway Station, there are option I would like to suggest to your Hotel, one is taking the subway line 1 to the Renmin Square and changing to Line 2 to the Nan Jing dong Road No.3 exit, another one is taking the taxi which is a 15 minutes drive.
Hope this would be useful to you. If you have any questions or interested in our travel service, please feel free to send us E-mail at service@chinahighlights.com. We are looking forward to helf you further.
Thank you - the information given is most helpful.
