Apart from driving yourself or joining a tour group, the most convenient way to get there is by taking a combination of high-speed train and public bus. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Step 1: From Hangzhou to Kunshan

First, you need to reach Kunshan, which is located in Jiangsu Province and serves as a transit point on your way to Zhouzhuang. To get from Hangzhou to Kunshan, you can take a high-speed train.
