Hi Ava, tks for your swift reply. Found out that Airport shuttle bus stops at Merchant Marco Hotel (pinghai road) and not Grand Metro Park hotel. Or it stops at few hotels along Pinghai Road including Grand Metro park Hotel? Must we buy bus ticket beforehand or can pay onboard the bus? Are there other hotels near airport shuttle bus stop?

According to the information on the airport official website, the shuttle bus actually stops at Grand Metro Park. You can purchase the ticket before boarding the bus. There is always a ticket counter nearby. In addition, you can also stay at Zhongshan International Hotel. It is located at 500 yards southwestward of Grand Metro Park. The exact location is No.15, Pinghai Road.
