layover in pudong airport for 10 hrs.

Question

How can I get into the city from Terminal 2?When I get back to airport, how security check point at Pu Dong airport, is it busy ?

Falicia · Answer

Generally, you can spare some time for sightseeing during transit. From T2, you can walk 10-15min to the Maglev train station to take Maglev to Longyang Road, where transfer to local subway line 2 to East Nanjing Road Station. Then you can walk to the Bund for sightseeing. It is secure to check at the airport, but maybe a little bit busy. You are advised to spare at least 2h for check in.

@ Falicia, thank you very much:) Moreover,For visa, do I need  to get any visa stamped even though I stay only 10 hrs outside of airport?Can I use my credit card to buy train pass?

Falicia · Answer

No visa is needed. Upon landing, you can easily apply for a transit permit from the frontier inspection, with which you are allowed to get out of the airport. I remember it is ok to but the Maglev ticket with credit card, but for metro ticket, you have to pay with Chinese Yuan.
