In-Depth Information
City Terminal ( Shanghai Jichang Chengshi Hangzhan Lou) on West Nanjing
Rd, east of Jing'an Temple.
Hongqiao Airport is 18km from the Bund, a 30- to 60-minute trip. Most
flights now arrive at Terminal 2, connected to the city centre via metro Lines 2
and 10 (30 minutes to People's Sq). If you arrive at Terminal 1 you can also
catch the airport shuttle bus (¥4, 7.50am to 11pm) to the Airport City Terminal
on West Nanjing Rd. Airport bus 1 (¥30, 6am to 9.30pm) runs to Pudong Inter-
national Airport; bus 941 (¥6) links Hongqiao Airport with Shanghai Main Train
Station. Taxis cost ¥70 to ¥100 to central Shanghai.
Public Transport
FERRY The Jinling Rd Ferry ( Jinling Lu Lundu Zhan ) runs between the
southern end of the Bund and the Dongchang Rd dock in Pudong. Ferries (¥2)
run roughly every 15 minutes from 7am to 10pm. The Fuxing Rd Ferry ( Fux-
ing Lu Lundu Zhan) runs from Fuxing Rd north of the Cool Docks in the South
Bund to Dongchang Rd as well. Ferries (¥2) run every 10 to 20 minutes from
around 5am to 11pm.
METRO The Shanghai metro system ( www.shmetro.com ) , indicated by a
red M, currently runs to 11 lines after huge expansion; two additional lines (13
and 22) were expected to open by this topic's publication date and a further
two lines (12 and 16) later in 2013. Lines 1, 2 and 10 are the most useful for
travellers. Tickets cost ¥3 to ¥10 depending on distance, sold from coin- and
note-operated bilingual automated machines (and from booths at some sta-
tions); keep your ticket until you exit. Transport cards are available from in-
formation desks for ¥50 and ¥100; they don't offer any savings, but are useful
for avoiding queues and can also be used in taxis and on most buses. A one-
day metro pass is also sold from information desks for ¥18.
Metro maps are available at most stations; the free tourist maps also have a
small metro map printed on them. Check out www.shmetro.com for a map of
the metro network.
Taxi
Shanghai's taxis are reasonably cheap, hassle-free and easy to flag down out-
side rush hour, although finding a cab during rainstorms is impossible. Flag fall
is ¥14 (for the first 3km) and ¥18 at night (11pm to 5am).
