    My friends and I (5 persons) will go to Osaka and transit Shanghai at 07.00 am. My next boarding to Osaka is around 6.30 pm. Would you please give me some advice about any place that I could make a quick tour in Shanghai? The Bund/Nanjinglu? Does it take much time?
    Thank you very much.

17. Hello Poom,

    Yes, you may take the airport shutt bus or the subway line 2 and get off at the Nanjing Road or People’s Square where you can have a walking tour of Nanjing Road and the Bund. It takes about 2 hours to walk around Nanjing Road and the Bund.

18. We would appreciate some advice on traveling from Pudong Airport to Salvo Hotel Shangai, Guangdong Rd, Huangpu District. We arrive at the airport on Sunday 11 May, 7.30 am.
    Regards Vicki

19. Hello Vicki,

    Just take subway line 2 directly from Pudong airport and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road ( 南京东路) and exit from Exit C. Then walk to your hotel ( 630 meters ).

20. Hi, I’m staying at SSAW hotel near yuyuan station and I need to pick up my partner from pudong airport in 2 days. I want to take the metro line 2 but how long does it take and what’s the best route in getting back to SSAW from pudong?

21. Hello James,

    Your hotel has a good location. You just walk to the nearest metro station of Subway Line 10 from your hotel and take the subway line 10 to the north direction and get off just at the next station of East Nanjing Road (南京东路), then interchange for subway line 2 to the east direction and get off at the final station of Pudong Airport.

    Back from Pudong airport to your hotel, use the same subway line: take subway line 2 directly from Pudong airport and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road and interchange for subway line 10 to the south direction and get off at the next station of Yuyuan (豫园）, walk to your hotel ( 500 meters ).

    Note: while taking subway line 2 to Pudong airport vice versa, you need to interchange at Guanglan Station (广兰), no worry, just follow the throng. Have a good trip!

22. Hello,

    I am going to the Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund.

    What would be the best routing if I took the Maglev?

23. Hello Roger,

    You may first take maglev from Pudong airport and get off at the final stop of Longyang Station where you interchange for Subway line 2 and get off at the station of Nanjing East Road ( 南京东路), exit from exit 3 and take a taxi for your hotel- Indigo Shanghai on the Bund.

    The taxi ride from Exit 3 of Subway line 2 at East Nanjing Road to your hotel is about 3 km, costing you about RMB 18.

    By the way East Nanjing Road is a pedestrian only street, so you need to find a side road to locate a taxi. Have a good time in Shanghai!

24. Kia Ora from New Zealand

    We will be arriving at Pudong airport around 19.00.
    We are staying at The Bund Hotel, Huangpu,Shanghai.
    How do we get there…

25. Hi again

    We are flying Shenzhen Airlines ZH1216 [operated by Air China] to Xian at 8.30am.
    What time would you suggest leaving The Bund, Huangpu and which terminal at Pudong do we need to go to.

26. Hello Lee-Anne,

    1) Take a taxi from Pudong airport to your hotel (the Bund Hotel ): 48km, and approx.taxi fare RMB 180

    2) Take subway line 2 directly from Pudong airport and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road (南京东路) and exit from Exit 4 and walk to your hotel ( 860 meters )

    Note: When you take the subway from the airport to the station of East Nanjing Road, you have to interchange at Guanglan Road Station ( 广兰路站 ). Don’t worry. Everybody has to interchange and just follow the throng.

    Check the Shanghai Subway map for more information – Guanglan Road Station and East Nanjing Road Station:

27. Hello Lee-Anne,

    Personally, I suggest you leave your hotel at 5:30 am and take a taxi to the Pudong airport. For domestic flights, you are required to be at the airport 2 hours in advance. That means you should be at the airport at 6:30am. So you’d better leave your hotel at 5:30am.

28. What is best way to get from Pudong International terminal 2 to Broadway mansions hotel Bei Suzhou Road Hongkou. Is it worth taking Maglev to Longyang Rd station then taxi or simply taxi from airport.?

29. Hello John,

    Yes, you have three choices to go from Pudong airport to your hotel. Which is better depends on what you want to maximize the transfer.

    1. Simply taking the taxi from Pudong to your hotel: comfortable,hassle-free, but you miss Maglev experience.

    2. First Maglev and then taking a taxi from Longyang Station to your hotel, good, but you have to hail a taxi.

    3. First take Maglev and get off at Longyang Station, then interchange for subway line 2 and get off the 6th station of East Nanjing Road(南京东路) and exit from the Exit 6 and walk to your hotel ( about 1.2 km , a bit hard for you if you have a large suitcase.).

30. I arrive in Pudong Airport at 5am and have a connecting flight from hongqiao airport at 9am the same day. What is the best way to get from Pudong Airport to Hong qiao airport at the wee hours in the morning? Would appreciate your advise and also how much should i expect fares to be?

    Thank you very much.

31. Hello Carmen,

    Sorry for the delayed reply due to the internet failure here!

    You’d better take a taxi directly from Pudong airport to Hongqiao Airport which takes about one and half hours.

32. I am going to have an 8 hours of layover at Pudong airport in shanghai on Nov 10. what should I do, or where should I go during those hours? a local wondering around? maybe? thanks

33. Hi Sam Chai,

    You may take subway line 2 and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road ( 南京东路 ）. Then you can walk along East Nanjing Road ( shhopping ). Then stroll along the Bund for the beautiful skyline of Pudong just opposite to the Bund. If you have more free time, you may take a taxi to Jinmao Tower in Pudong to have a panaromic view of the city.

    Have a good time in Shanghai!

34. We have a 9 hour layover in Shanghai and wanted to go to Nanjing Road to shop. Is this possible and how long will it take to get there?

35. Hi Teri,

    Just take the subway line 2 directly from Pudong airport ( or Hongqiao airport ) and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road. One way subway ride takes about one hour.

36. Hi Teri

    I will arrive to Pudong Airport at 2.15 pm on March 15, What is best way to get to Les Suites Orient Hotel at the Bund??
    Thank you!!

37. Hi Claudia,

    Just take the subway line 2 directly from Pudong airport and get off at the station of East Nanjing Road and exit from Exit No.03 and walk to your hotel ( 1.4km ). Alternatively taxi from Pudong airport to your hotel ( about 155 yuan and 44 km ). Have a good time in Shanghai!

38. I will arrive Pu Dong Airport at 05.55am, What is the best way to get to Central Hotel Shanghai?
    Wanting to go by train or would Taxi be the best way to go, Would appreciate your advise and also how much should i expect fares to be?

    Thank you

39. Hi Phill,

    Do you mean Central Hotel Shanghai (上海王宝和大酒店) at 555 Jiujiang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai? If yes, you have the following two choices of transport:

    1. Taking a taxi
    Taxi fare: RMB 170 ( 50km )

    2. Airport Shuttle Bus
    Go to Terminal 1 at Pudong Airport take the Airport Shuttle Bus No.05 and get off at the 4th stop of Yan’an East Road and Zhejiang Middle Road, and walk north for about 700 meters to get to your hotel.
    Note: It is a bit tricky to walk from the arrival bus station to your hotel. So you can choose to taxi to your hotel from the arrival bus station.

40. I will be arriving in Shanghai Pudong airport on 15.12.2016 at approximately 5.30 p.m. with my family in a group of 7 people and we are staying in Sofitel on Nanjing Road. How many passengers/luggage pieces can a taxi take? Is it only maximum 3 or can they take 4 pax in 1 taxi?

41. Hi Shirley,

    Basically a normal taxi can hold 4 persons. But the back truck of a taxi, as far as I know, can only accommodate 2 large pieces of luggage. In your case, you may consider hiring a large van for the transfer. Below is the car rental service with driver ( only for your reference ):

    Have a good time in Shanghai!
