Hi Felix,

 

You're very welcome! Happy to help.

 

Regarding luggage storage, Jiashan South Railway Station (where you'll arrive from Shanghai) does offer storage services. While I haven't personally used it, most high-speed rail stations in China have luggage storage, usually in the waiting area with clear signage. It's likely to be a smart locker system, and the cost will depend on the size and duration of storage.

 

Jiashan Bus Station (JiaShan Passenger Transport Center) also has luggage storage. They offer both self-service lockers and manned storage counters for larger bags. If you choose this option, I’d recommend using the official storage counters to ensure security.

 

Another alternative is using an online luggage storage platform like "CunZhiJi" (存知己), which partners with local shops and hotels near railway stations. You can book a spot through their app or WeChat mini-program, then follow the navigation to drop off your luggage. This can sometimes be more convenient than station-based storage.

 

Also, a quick tip: Jiashan South Station has a direct bus to Xitang – the JiaShan 222 bus. It runs about 24.5 km, with a travel time of around 40 minutes. This could be a convenient way to reach Xitang after dropping off your bags.

 

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more details.

 

Best,
Daniel
