Passengers arriving at Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao Airport will find a plethora of facilities and amenities to use before continuing their journey into the city centre. Indulge in an extensive selection of culinary delights at the diverse range of restaurants or enjoy some light shopping at the boutique stores situated within the airport. Baggage storage, tourist information booths, ATMs, and currency exchange services are also available, along with specific services tailored to meet the needs of travellers who require special assistance.
Choosing your airport in Shanghai
For passengers visiting during peak seasons, especially in the summer and autumn months, Pudong Airport offers a more tranquil experience when arriving or departing. These busy times are marked by numerous holidays and festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, which can lead to larger crowds at Hongqiao Airport. As a result, passengers arriving at Pudong may encounter shorter wait times at check-in, security, and immigration, contributing to a more enjoyable travel experience.
If you're arriving or departing from Shanghai during the early morning hours, Hongqiao Airport might be a more convenient choice. Situated just about 25 minutes from downtown, it is ideal for those with early flights or those arriving late at night. Guests staying in central Shanghai will benefit from the shorter travel time, allowing for additional rest before their trip.
Taxis are the most convenient way to get downtown from Pudong Airport, as it takes approximately 45 minutes. Alternatively, you can opt for Shanghai’s train services, which will take you to the heart of the city in around 35 minutes. The Airport MRT is another viable option as it will transport you to various destinations in Shanghai in just under an hour.
If you’re arriving at Hongquai Airport, taxis can take you downtown as quickly as 30 minutes. Trains are also another convenient option, as the Shanghai Metro Line 10 can take you to major stations such as Xujiahui and People’s Square in 30 minutes as well.
Begin your holiday with a leisurely walk along The Bund, often referred to as a "gallery of international architecture." This iconic waterfront features 27 grand buildings, each over a century old, showcasing a diverse array of styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, and Art Deco. Notable landmarks include the HSBC Building, renowned for its magnificent dome and bronze lions, the historic Peace Hotel, famous for its jazz scene, and the Customs House clock tower, reminiscent of London's Big Ben. Visitors can enjoy the scenic promenade, savour river breezes, and capture stunning photographs that blend old-world charm with modern skyscrapers. The Bund offers a captivating experience, transforming from a historical exhibit by day to a dazzling light display at night. For an unforgettable perspective, consider a Huangpu River night cruise to admire Shanghai’s illuminated skyline from the water.
The Shanghai Natural History Museum , a five-story institution, provides a comprehensive journey through the evolution of life, natural marvels, and the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, featuring over 290,000 specimens. The exploration begins on the second floor with "Mysterious Beginnings," which utilises 4D theatres to explore the origins of the universe and life. On the first floor, "The River of Life" exhibits animal specimens, fossils, and skeletal models, including those of dinosaurs and ancient giant creatures. The basement levels are dedicated to exhibitions on evolution, ecological diversity, Earth's natural treasures such as minerals and gemstones, and a detailed look at Shanghai's own natural history.
To conclude your Shanghai journey, visit the French Concession, a charming historic district that beautifully blends European elegance with Chinese culture. This area, under French administration from 1849 to 1946, is famous for its tree-lined streets, colonial-era buildings, and a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. The ideal way to experience the French Concession is by walking. Stroll along Wukang Road to admire its classic mansions, or explore the lively neighbourhoods of Tianzifang and Xintiandi. These areas feature narrow lanes filled with unique boutiques, art galleries, cafes, and trendy restaurants. For those interested in history, the Former Residence of Sun Yat-sen offers a glimpse into 19th century Shanghai.
