By bus: There are also buses available from Shanghai to Xinyi (8h), or from Xuzhou to Xinyi (1h40m), but bus stations and information can be more difficult to understand if you do not speak Chinese, so going by train might be easier for you. It is useful to have a Chinese Mandarin phrase book with you and the names of your destinations in Chinese. |
