Air
Shaoxing does not have its own airport. The nearest airport is Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH), which is about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) away in Hangzhou. Arriving at this airport, you could then take the shuttle bus to Shaoxing. What's more, there are daily flights to Chinese cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macau, Guilin, Kunming and Lijiang. International flights to Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore and Bangkok are also available.
The shuttle bus from airport stops at Jinghu Hotel in Keqiao Town (about 10 kilometers from city proper) and the Dynasty Hotel on Shengli Road. The whole trip costs over an hour. If you are pressed for time, taking a taxi may be a better choice. It takes just around 45 minutes.
