Not a lot of time to waste in trendy Shanghai bars...what a shame....
Wuxi is only one hour and a half by train from Shanghai. Trains are very frequent, and if you take the Shanghai-Nanjing route and get off in Wuxi, travel is under one hour (train starting with a D). Then from Wuxi, you could go to Ningbo by train again, the trip is a bit longer, average is 7 hours, but the fastest is a T train (Nanjing West -Ningbo line) that takes about 5 hours to get there.
To get to Tonglu (I assume you mean Tonglu in Zhejiang, and not the one somewhere in the Himalayas) you will have to go through Hangzhou. It takes about a little more than 2 hours to get to Hangzhou by train. Many trains and different lines throughout the day. To get to Tonglu from Hangzhou, you will have to take a local bus as there is no train or plane going there. It will take around 1,5 hours to get in here from Hangzhou by bus on a highway and it will cost you 26 RMB. Take the bus to Tonglu from the West Bus Station or the People's Conference Hall in Hangzhou, then change to a minibus. It's pretty confusing and stressing especially if you don't know Chinese...You might also consider taking a taxi from Hangzhou, but that will be quite expensive but perhaps easier especially if you don't speak Chinese and don't have a guide to help you with the bus tickets and whatnot. Return to Shanghai will have to be through Hangzhou, then from Hangzhou by train up to Shanghai, but that part is easy.

on line examine would be your maximum suitable buddy whilst doing this! to maintain the cost down the two hit upon a worldwide excursion group(they have distinctive those yet in many cases there's a great waiting record) or stick to taking busses/trains or renting motorcycles to get around. purely use a airplane once you absolutly ought to by way of fact bus fare (whilst it ought to take longer to get on your trip spot) is a impressive deal greater low-value and could make for some relaxing reports. additionally seem to stay in hostels or very low-priced motels (dont sacrifice your risk-free practices for value nonetheless) you would be packed in with distinctive people in hostels yet they're low-priced (in many cases like 10-40 dollars) additionally deliver language dictionaries with you so which you will communicate to community people by way of fact that is going to help lots, and maps, consistently use maps.
