i will be in shanghai for 6 days. can anyone recommend the best subway ticket option?

Question

Can anyone recommend the best subway ticket option to travel from Pudong International Airport to Grand Central Hotel? I understand possible options are taking maglev to longyang and then transfering to subway line or taking the subway line all the way from the airport. And then there are 1 day passes, 3 days passes, Round-trip maglev passes etc. All the possible combinations are confusing me and I'm not sure what's the best option to take.All help is appreciated, thank you!

According to your situation, you are advised to purchase the Ordinary Octopus Card. After purchasing it, you can enjoy 20% discount when taking the Maglev Train. In addition, when you taking other public transportation in the city, you can also buy the cheaper prices by using this card. :)
