Check rates on Booking.comBooking tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Choose the Old Town (Lu Xun Native Place, Cangqiao Straight Street) for sightseeing on foot; Metro Line 1 stops at Lu Xun Native Place and City Square stations
Keqiao hotels (Hyatt Place, Wyndham, Maison New Century) suit travelers arriving at Shaoxingbei Railway Station but sit well outside the old town
Shangyu and Xinchang hotels (Sheraton, Courtyard by Marriott) are in separate county-level districts far from the old town and suit visits to those districts only
Several hotels (Le Meridien, Atour Joy City, Dongyueli) run no airport shuttle; Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport is about 38-42 km away, roughly one hour by car
Confirm which Crowne Plaza Shaoxing is being booked: the Yuecheng property is at 379 Shengli Road East, the Binhai New Area property at 888 Xincheng Avenue
Compare rates on Trip.com and the brand's own app, since 'from' rates differ between listings
