Gaopo is located in Guiyang, so there is no trains from Guiyang to Gaopo. As there is no direct bus from Guiyang downtown to Gaopo, I suggest take a taxi or rent a car in advance. The drive takes around 1.5 hours on the way, and the taxi fare is around CNY 160.

As I know, there is no high speed train from Hangzhou to Linyi. It is a better choice to take flight, or you can also take the overnight train.
