From Pudong airport by subway to Dashijie: long distance walk to change from line 2 to line 8? Or take shuttle?
Hallo,
We arrive at Pudong airport early morning on wednesday 5 september.
I need to make a choice for our hotel. Our prefered one is Hao Du Hotel near Dahijie subway station.
We will have a backpack and a big suitcase on wheels. How far is the distance between platform line 2 people's square arriving from airport and platform line 8 to depart to Dashijie?
Do we need to climb or descend steps or os there an escalator?
If too long or difficult we need to take our 2nd choice Chunshengjiang Hotel at 10 mintes walk form subway People's Square station

SHUTTLE: Line 5: does it stop at East Yan'an Road near to Dashijie or at Middle Zheijiang Road which is a bit far?
