The Shanghai Pudong International Airport is located on the South coast at the mouth of the Yangtze River, around 30 km (19 miles) from central Shanghai and 40 km (25 miles) from the Hong Qiao International Airport, which is situated 13 kilometers from the city center toward the western suburbs of Shanghai. Currently, Pudong International Airport accommodates aircraft movement over 400 times per day, on average, and accounts for approximately 60% of total aircraft movement in Shanghai. It also serves about 50 domestic and foreign airlines and connects with over 70 international and regional destinations and 60 domestic destinations. Check the timetable for the Pudong International Airport shuttle bus.
Visitors can take a taxi to the airport for about 150 RMB. Now, a more popular alternative is available: the newly opened maglev train, which runs as fast as 431 km/h and takes you from the city center to the airport in about 8 minutes.

Shanghai Transportation

Getting ThereAirport ArrivalChina's major airline is CAAC, which is divided into seven subsidiaries. The most well-known are CAAC itself and three divisions offering international routes: Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines.Because of CAAC's questionable safety record, many travelers choose to fly Dragonair (when they can find a seat), a joint venture between Cathay Pacific Airlines and the Chinese government.To get to Shanghai with some money left in your pocket, it's best to fly directly to Hong Kong, then take a Dragonair flight or CAAC flight to Shanghai. CAAC also flies directly from Singapore, which is served by a number of international airlines. ANA, Japan Airlines, and Thai International also make stops there.Hongqiao Airport is about 18 kilometers (11 miles) from Shanghai. Taxis are available, and many hotels operate shuttle buses. CAAC offers bus service to the airport from its office on Yan'an Lu.By SeaBoats are a popular way of traveling to and from Shanghai. CITS handles tickets for larger boats to Hong Kong. Tickets for domestic ships are sold at 1 Jinling Donglu. Shanghai is also a popular port for cruise ships, although they can be expensive. There's no departure tax when leaving China by sea.From AustraliaBy Air: A number of airlines operate daily service from Sydney and Melbourne to Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. Flights operate three times weekly from Brisbane and Adelaide.From CanadaBy Air: Canadian Airlines, Korean Air, and Air Canada fly from various Canadian cities to China. CAAC has two flights weekly that fly from Toronto, with a stop in Vancouver and then Shanghai.From FranceBy Air: Air France, Cathay Pacific Airways, Dragonair, and CAAC all fly from Paris to Shanghai.From GermanyBy Air: CAAC, Dragonair, and Lufthansa fly from most of the major German cities to Shanghai.

From JapanBy Air: CAAC provides flights to Shanghai from Tokyo and Osaka, as well as other Japanese cities. Flights from Japan to Shanghai are also offered by Japan Airlines, Dragonair, United Airlines, and All Nippon Airways.By Sea: The luxurious ship Suzhou Hao sails for two days between Osaka/Yokohama and Shanghai; it leaves from Japan weekly—one week from Osaka, the next from Yokohama. Fares can be expensive, depending on which class you choose.

If you purchase your tickets in Shanghai, they'll cost about 30 percent less than in Japan.From the United KingdomBy Air: There are regularly scheduled flights from London to Hong Kong, with connecting flights to Shanghai. CAAC operates the majority of flights to Shanghai, but British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Dragonair, Air France, and Aer Lingus offer flights from various UK cities. Direct flights from London to Shanghai take approximately 10 hours.From the U.S.By Air: Most major airlines fly to Hong Kong and on to Shanghai twice daily. Flights from New York to Shanghai take 22 hours; from Los Angeles to Shanghai, 12 hours.Getting AroundOn FootDespite the distances between sights, walking beats coping with traffic and its cacophony of sirens, horns, and bells.By BusThe bus system is difficult to understand and the buses are horribly packed. If you decide to try them, watch out for pickpockets. You may want to take a minibus, which costs a lot more but is still relatively cheap. Buses are not the best way to reach the nearby cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou because traffic is heavy and vehicles are crowded. The long-distance bus station for Hangzhou is on Qiujiang Lu; the station for Suzhou is at Renmin Square.By TrainThe subway is the best choice for reaching destinations that are beyond walking range. The service is cheap, regular, and efficient—but currently runs only north-south through the center of the city.Trains are an excellent way to travel to other China destinations. There are four classes of train travel: hard-seat, soft-seat, hard-sleeper, and soft-sleeper. Hard-seat is hell. Soft-seat is limbo. Hard-sleeper is purgatory with a pillow, and soft-sleeper is very comfortable. Expect to pay three times what Chinese travelers pay. Or ask a Chinese person to buy the ticket for you—it'll work most of the time. Determine whether the train leaves from the Main Station or West Station. Tickets are available from the Shanghai Railway Station, the Longmen Hotel next door, and China International Travel Service (CITS). CITS requires about six days' notice. By TaxiAs with Beijing, taxis charge different fares, which are advertised on stickers on the front window. Cabs are probably best avoided unless you enjoy the experience of watching the meter tick over as you sit in gridlocked traffic.
