Motor way:
It is 53km from Shanghai International Deep Water Habor and 74sm from Zhoushan Port. With the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, Zhapu-Jiaxing-Suzhou Expressway, especially the under constructed Hangzhou Bay Great Bridge, Hangzhou-Pudong Expressway and planning Shanghai-Hangzhou Maglev Train, Zhapu-Jiaxing-Huzhou Train, the civic light train, the Jiaxing Port & Development Zone will become an important hub of communication in the Yangtze river delta---Ningbo-Suzhou-Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo economic development intensive area---these are all approximately 100km from it. 

Inland River:
In the rear of Jiaxing Port & Development Zone, the waterway network is well developed. The 300t to 500t Zhajiasu Channel and Liupingshen Channel are connected to Jiaxing Port, linking up to Great Beijing-Hangzhou Cannel, Qiantang River, Huangpu River and Yangtze River, which compose the best conditions for the collection and distribution of the port transportation.
Railway:
The Jiaxing Railway Station is 40km away from Jiaxing Port with a special railway-waterway transfer station for Jiaxing Port. Shanghai Jinshan Petrochemical-Zhapu-Jiaxing-Huzhou Raiway is under planning now.
