My trip is in Dec 2024. My flight will land at 245pm in Pudong. Can I know how long does it take to clear Pudong arrival immigration? What is the recommended high speed rail timing that I should book from Hongqiao Railway station to Nanjing South Station? From airport to Hongqiao Rail station, should I take direct metro line 2 or take Maglev train?

Usually it takes 10-15 minutes if you have required documents, like return flight ticket and hotel reservation. It takes 75min to travel from the airport to Hongqiao by the maglev and metro line 2 and 1h40min only by metro line 2. Both ways are OK for you. And like I said, on weekends the direct metro line 2 is better. To be on the safe side, the recommended Shanghai - Nanjing South train timing is after 18:00.

Today 26 June I had to wait 1h30 in queue for immigration at Pudong, was a late afternoon flight

Thank you Seppe. Someone from Little Red Book also shared she took 1hr 30min to clear Pudong immigration.
