I will be reaching Pudong Airport. I have some work on Putuo district in Zhennan road and next day wants to leave for Suzhou by train so any body can please suggest me which hotel should i take to stay by which I can be nearby to both places and should have all nearby restaurant and market facilities also.

Mr.FFrankie replied:
I think you could book a hotel around Shanghai Railway Station. So, when you arrive at Pudong, you could take the shuttle bus to arrive there directly. Then, take a cab to get to Zhennan Road. At night, you could return to the hotel.
On the next day, you could catch a bullet train from this railway station to Suzhou directly.

Hi! I'm arriving at Pudong Int'l Airport at 21:20 on a Friday night and I'd like to get to New Asia Hotel on 422 Tiantong Road, Hongkou. Is there a bus available?
Nov. 20,2009 22:25
Mr.FFrankie replied:
You could take the shuttle bus Line 4 to its terminal at Hongkou Foot Stadium firstly. The hotel is located about 3kms away from the airport, so please take a cab to arrive there. Please note that the last bus leave from Pudong at 23:00.
If you miss the last bus, please airport night line from Pudong to Hongqiao Airport and get off at the Oriental Hospital (东方医院). Then, hire a cab driving to the hotel as well. The journey is about 4kms costing around 20RMB.

It is suggested that u take a bullet train from Ningbo to Shanghai South Railway Station firstly. The journey is about 3~3.5 hours. Just at the railway station, you could take the shuttle bus Line 7 to arrive in Shanghai Pudong Airport in one hour.

As I know, you could take the Maglev (40RMB&8minutes) or the shuttle bus Line 3(20RMB&30minutes) from Pudong Airport to arrive at the Longyang Road Subway Station firstly. Then, please take a cab (about15RMB) to the hotel, which is about 5kms away from the bus stop.

Mr.JAMESWONG(China) replied:
There is only two shuttle bus everyday from PVG to Yiwu. You will miss them all and you should only get to Shanghai South Railway Station by airport Line 7. Try to catch the train leaving shanghai at 21:51, if you miss it, there is only one train left leaving at 23: 57. You will get Yiwu 3 hours later. Coach is not available at that time too.

Mr.JAMESWONG(China) replied:
Take the airport Night line and get off at Middle Zhejiang Road (Yan'an Rd). It is very close to your hotel then. For it is late at mid-night, suggest you take a taxi to the hotel after getting off the airport bus.
