Get in
By car
The Hang Hui Highway starts in Hangzhou and traverses Lin'an.
There is also a new highway being built that will connect Lin'an to Dongyang. It is scheduled for completion in 2015.
By train
For economic reasons, the Hang Huang high speed train, which used to serve Linan, has been diverted to Fuyang.
However, the Hangzhou Metro will be extended to Lin'an within 3 years, and by 2020, there may be two metro lines (Lines 3 and 5) connecting Lin'an with Hangzhou.
