High-speed train services began in June 2020. There are eight trains per day from Huzhou and the journey time from there is only 16 minutes. You can

also catch the train from other cities such as Hangzhou. Unfortunately, the railway station is quite far (about 30 km) from the center of the main town,

so it may still be easier to take the bus.
