Dear All,
I am still deciding which hotel to book ...Metropole or Baron business? My conditions are very simple....my family arrive 5am at Pudong Airport with 10 luggages after 15hours flight from NY. We need the most convenient way to get to either. Does Line 3 serve both hotels? If so, which one should I book?

Hi, the airport shuttle bus Line 3 could take you to the hotel directly. The bus terminal is just right there. The fare is CNY20. Recently, the weather is good for travel although there will be little rainfall. Well, please pay attention to the real-time weather forecast: http://www.weather.com.cn/html/weather_en/101020100.shtml

I'm planning a trip through Shanghai to Linping (hangzhou), what is the best wat to get there? I will arrive at 4:00pm Pundong airport and I Would like to proceed to linping as soon as I arrive. Please advise
Nov. 6,2009 02:40
Mr.Shan replied:
If possible, you could catch the coach departing from Pudong Airport to downtown Hangzhou directly at 19:30. The bus terminal in Hangzhou is about 20kms away from Linping, so I'm afraid that you have to hire a cab driving you there at night.
In case of missing the bus, you could take the shuttle bus Line7 to get to Shanghai South Railway station firstly. Here, you could catch an express train to arrive in Hangzhou in 2 hours.

Hi, Is there any direct coach from Pudong airport to Nanjing? Thanks
Nov. 4,2009 03:04
Mr.Shan replied:
Currently, there is no direct coach to Nanjing from Pudong Airport. However, you could take the airport shuttle bus Line 5 to get to Shanghai Railway Station firstly. From here, there are many trains departing to Nanjing everyday. The fastest one only takes about 2.5 hours. You could search the train schedule at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

At Pudong Airport, you could take a coach to arrive in Suzhou directly. The buses leave at 10:00, 10:40, 11:10, 11:40, 12:10, 12:40, 13:10, 13:50, 14:20, 14:50, 15:20, 16:10, 16:50, 17:20, 18:10, 18:50, 20:00
If you miss it, please take the airport shuttle bus Line 5 to Shanghai Railway Station firstly. The journey is about one hour. Then, you could purchase a ticket of the bullet trains to arrive in Suzhou in 40 minutes. Well, the train schedule could be searched at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

I will be in Shanghai on the 6th of Nov. arriving at 720PM. I will be staying at the Jin Li Hua Hotel. I chose them because they said they are close to the airport. Is this a god hotel? Also, from Pudong airport, how do I get to the hotel? Thank you.
Nov. 2,2009 23:06
Mr.Shan replied:
This hotel is said to be one of the best hotels around the airport. It is just 12 kms from Pudong Airport. As I know, this hotel supplies free shuttle bus between Pudong Airport and the hotel for its guests. You'd better contact with the hotel for details.

We(2 females) will arrive at Pudong Airport at about 10.35pm & need to get to The Phoenix Hostel @Yunnan South Road. Am on a budget & can't figure out which shuttle to take and where to alight.Please advise the best way to get there, short of a cab?Thanks!

Mr.Shan replied:
You will arrive in Pudong too late to catch the shuttle bus or the Maglev train. So, you have to hire a cab driving to the hotel directly. The fare is about CNY160. As I know, this hostel supplies airport picking up. The fare is CNY150/cab/4adults, so you could share fare with other customers if lucky.
