From Pudong airport to the city, budget hotel in Shanghai, tourist bus?

The cheapest way is to take subway line 2 from Pudong Airport to the city. It costs about CNY5~9 for varies destinations at the city downtown area. It usually takes about one hour to the city center area by subway from Pudong Airport. There are many budget hotels in Shanghai. I suggest you find one at the city center area which is very convenient for you to go around, such as Home Inn Shanghai people's Square with complete facilities . It costs US$42 up per night. Tourists can ride the double-decked City Sightseeing Buses for a one-day fun trip of Shanghai. The City Sightseeing Buses run two routes respectively in Puxi area and Pudong area.
