Pudong (浦东机场) is Shanghai's new international airport, located 40 km to the east of the city. It is mainly used for the international flights and several domestic flights. Arrivals on the first floor, departures on the third, and has all the features you'd expect - but head up to the 3rd if the sole ATM in the arrivals hall is out of order.
Comparatively speaking, the best way or the most convenient way to transfer to the downtown city is by taxi for about 1 hour time, but it is the most expensive way, about RMB150-200 yuan. I think, for most western travelers, it is acceptable. Before entering a taxi, always check the general cost with the driver first. In view of most taxi drivers cannot speak English, you just need to ensure the driver put on the meters calculator.
The cheaper way is to take the airport shuttle buses at about RMB15-22 yuan for about 1.5-2 hours. The last bus leaves at 9:00pm. There are a number of routes, but two particularly convenient ones connect to the Airport City Terminal on Nanjing West Road (#2, ¥19) and Shanghai train station (#5, ¥18).
The cheapest and most attractive way is the transrapid maglev train, shuttles from Pudong to Longyang Road at interval of 8 mins, running with a speed of 430km/hour. Services currently operate from 7 AM to 9 PM daily and cost ¥50 one way (¥40 if you have a same-day ticket) or ¥80 same-day return. You can also opt to pay double for "VIP Class", which gets you a soft drink and bragging rights. Of course, you have to connect a shuttle bus or take a taxi from Longyang Road to your destination.
Another airport, Hongqiao airport si the older airport only serves for domestic flights. It is nearer to the downtown city, about 18km away from the centre. It takes about 20 mins by taxi while about 1 hour by public buses (numbers 925 and 505) to Renmin Square.
I visited ZhouZhuang, Xitang and Tongli. In ALL honesty, they look the same, but I have to admit - ZhouZhuang is extremely touristy. If you go to Xitang, you will actually see real people doing their day-to-days there... not like in ZhouZhuang, where people "pretend" to live there.
Also, the ticket into ZhouZhuang is $100RMB, whereas the other places charge far less and some don't even charge at all.
