Fetch your bags exit arrivals at Hangzhou Airport (HGH-Xiaoshan Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Hangzhou, around 19 miles from the terminal, go for something zippy. A compact car with good handling will suit those busy city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the scenic rocky coastlines of the surrounding area, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
