Visitors to the famous water town of Zhouzhuang, just a stone's throw away from Shanghai, travel to the recently-opened Shanghai Disneyland directly via a shuttle bus.

Tourists can buy tickets for the shuttle route, which opened on June 18, at the ticket office at Siji Zhouzhuang on Quangong Road. Tickets booked on Ctrip.com can also be picked up at the office.

The shuttle bus will depart twice daily at 7:00 am and 4:00 pm from the parking lot of the Zhouzhuang old town scenic area. The bus will also stop in Shanghai at 9:00 am at a rendezvous point in Huangpu district and 7:00 pm at a bus station near Disneyland Park.

Single tickets can be purchased for 25 yuan ($3.8) per person and round trip tickets cost 50 yuan per person.
