Get in
Get around
By plane
Zhejiang is a very small province, it usually makes sense to prefer train over plane whenever possible considering both money and time.
By train
High-speed rail is most recommended. Most of the cities and towns in Zhejiang has at least one fast train station.
By taxi
Most cities have taxi providers, though online taxing platforms like Didi may be preferred.
