Question

Hi, I am traveling for the first time to China. Will be arriving at Pudong Airport around 15.30 from India via Hong Kong on 15.03.10. My return is on 18.03.10. I need to go to Tianlin Road on Xuhui. I was told it is near the Everbright C&E centre and Hotel at Caobao Road. What is the best mode to travel? Can I take Maglev train from the airport to south railway station and transfer to Tianlin Hotel by taxi or Bus. Pls guide me. If any other mode is preferred do let me know.

Ms.Alice · Answer

You can take the express way at the Shanghai (Pudong) airport to the Shanghai Gymnasium and then take a taxi (RMB 10) to the Tianlin Hotel.I think it's one of the best ways.

Hi, Mr. Nitesh and Ms. Alice, there is no express way from Pudong Airport to Shanghai Gymnasium. If you prefer travel by subway, you can take the Maglev train and get off at the terminal: Longyang Road, transfer to Subway Line 2 and get off at Century Avenue (Shiji Dadao in Chinese), totally 3 stations excluding the Century Avenue Station; then transfer to Subway Line 4 and get off at Shanghai Gymnasium, totally 10 stations. After getting off the subway, you can take a taxi to your destination, within 10 minutes. See the Subway Map of Shanghai here:https://www.travelchinaguide.com/images/map/shanghai/subway-map.jpgHowever, taking airport shuttle bus at Pudong Airport will be more convenient for you. The shuttle bus line shall be Line 3 or Line 7. Line 3: Pudong Airport – Galaxy Hotel ShanghaiDeparture Time: 07:00-23:00 (Airport Terminal 1); 07:05-23:05 (Airport Terminal 2); with an interval of 15 to 20 minutesPrice: CNY2 to CNY20, depending on your travel distanceMid-way stops: Longyang Road Subway Station, Dapu Road, XujiahuiYou can get off at Xujiahui and then take a taxi to the hotel which will be less than 10 minutes. Line 7: Pudong Airport – Shanghai South Railway StationDeparture Time: 07:50-23:00 (Airport Terminal 1); 07:55-23:05 (Airport Terminal 2); with an interval of 30 minutesPrice: flat fare CNY20There is no mid-way stops. After you arriving at Shanghai South, you can take a taxi to your hotel, also no more than 10 minutes.
