Get in
Air
Direct flights from JDZ to and from Shanghai every other day; biejing every day. Shanghai flight is one short hour and costs around 100 US$ ( depending on exchange rate, that's 600-700 yuan)
Bus
From Hangzhou West station at 9am and 2:20pm. They cost about RMB140 and take about 7 hours.
From Nanchang there is bus service that takes approximately 3-4 hours.
Train
From Shanghai the 2182/2183 trains leave at 12:40pm with a travel time of 16 hours. RMB117 for a hard sleeper.
Get around
Taxis are the easiest way, the meter starts at RMB5 and is billed to RMB0.1 but rounded either up or down. ie. Y4.3 = Y4, Y8.7 = Y9. Don't be fooled into taking a flat fare for RMB10 or more. Pretty much everywhere in the city will be less than that.
There is also a public bus service.
There are motor bike taxis, but judging by their propensity to laugh in the face of death, they probably aren't a wise choice.
