Hengdian travel guide

Hengdian has no airport. Travellers can fly to Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, from which shuttle buses run directly to Hengdian. There are 11 buses a day, with a fare of ¥75. You can also fly to Yiwu and take a bus from Yiwu Commercial Trade Station to Hengdian. Buses run hourly, the trip takes about 30 minutes, and it is very convenient.

The Hangzhou–Wenzhou High-Speed Railway, currently under construction, will be 331 km long. Once completed, Hengdian will enter the high-speed rail era. According to media reports, Hengdian High-Speed Railway Station is expected to open in the second half of 2024.

You can take a long-distance bus to Dongyang, then go to Dongyang West Passenger Station, where a bus leaves for Hengdian every 5 minutes.

Circular sightseeing buses run between the attractions and hotels in Hengdian, and they are free for guests staying at hotels belonging to the Hengdian Group. You can also take the tourist bus express line, which runs every 15 minutes for a fare of ¥1. Electric tricycles cost ¥15–20.

Food from every corner of China can be found here. You can try Beijing hot pot lamb, Chongqing spicy hot pot, Xinjiang whole roast lamb and big plate chicken, and Taiwanese hand-grabbed pancakes. There are also many barbecue restaurants and street food stalls favoured by celebrities. In short, Hengdian has countless delicious foods waiting for you.

Hengdian has hotels in every category, from four-star hotels to youth hostels, catering to all types of travellers. However, hotel prices vary between weekdays and weekends or holidays. Generally, weekend prices rise by 15–20%. During national public holidays, when visitor numbers are especially high, accommodation costs rise even further, and rooms can sometimes be fully booked. It is therefore best to reserve your room in advance.

雁荡镇有很多车到雁荡山，景区内各景点之间都有公交车。如果10人左右，包车每天约¥400，也可包半天，算下来比坐公交车更方便一些。也可以与温州、雁荡山的地接社联系，这样在门票、车费上更经济一些。

Each Hengdian scenic area has its own specialty shopping street, such as the Hengdian Old Street in Dream Valley, the Underground Imperial City at Qin Palace, the Dasong Fang commercial street inside the Qingming Shanghe Tu scenic area, and the foreign goods street on Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street. The most bustling shopping street outside the scenic areas is Wansheng Street, which has all kinds of shops as well as local street food.
