There are four train stations in Shanghai: Shanghai Railway Station, Shanghai South Station, Shanghai West Station, and Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station. The nearest one to Hyatt on the Bund is Shanghai Railway Station, which is the oldest one and close to the city center.
It is about 5 kilometers from the hotel. To get there, you can take bus 510 or 13, which will cost you 2 RMB and take 42 minutes, or you can also take subway line 1 at the train station, switch to line 12 at Hanzhong Road Station, get off at International Passenger Center Station, and walk for about 1 kilometer. This route will cost you 3 RMB and take 37 minutes.
However, the most convenient way to get to the hotel from the train station is by taxi. The price varies according to the traffic condition but does not exceed 30 RMB in most cases. It will save you a lot of trouble and time, and it is perfect for foreign visitors.
But there is one thing I have to remind you of. The pronunciation of Hyatt on the bund in English is quite different from that in Chinese. You can either show the following name to the driver – 上海外滩茂悦大酒店, or tell him the exact address – 199 Huangpu Road. Or, you can also call the hotel and ask the receptionist to communicate with him. The phone number is +86 21 6393 1234.
All in all, Hyatt on the bund is near Shanghai railway station, and you can take a taxi to get there at a reasonable price.
