Getting there
- Planes Shanghai is the only city in China with two international airports but you’re likely to arrive in Pudong (www.shanghaiairport.com). Don’t pay more than 200RMB for the 40-minute cab ride into town.
- Trains The Maglev (magnetic suspension) train is an exhilarating way to enter Shanghai from the airport… even if it only hits its top speed of 400km/h for a few seconds. The Maglev will have you at Longyang Rd Station in 20 minutes. From there, switch to the subway system, which is crowded but thankfully air-conditioned in summer.
- Automobiles Don’t hire a car unless you’re feeling daring: the concept of giving way doesn’t exist. Road signs are in Chinese and English. The Chinese drive on the right hand side of the road – most of the time.
- Others A Huangpu River Cruise is a great way to take in Shanghai’s space age architecture.
