- There are two airports in Shanghai. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the most important one when it comes to international flights.
This video shows you what to expect after you land, pass immigration and customs. We cover transportation options (how to get to the Shanghai city center) and what services are available (food, SIM card, luggage storage, etc.)
Here are some useful links:
Are you on a transit? You can possibly stay up to 144 hours (6 days) without a visa. Here are the rules: www.sh-immigration.gov.cn/list...
This is a website that helps you estimate the taxi fare to your hotel: www.taxifarefinder.com/main.p...
Here is the ticket information for the Maglev: www.smtdc.com/en/jszl.html
The speed and schedule (departure intervals) depends on the time of the day: www.smtdc.com/en/jszl1_2.html
Here is a good map of the Shanghai subway. They also have an app for smartphones: exploreshanghai.com/metro/

Thanks! Good video.
Very helpful thanks
Thank you for shearing
Very helpful - thank you!
Well done
It should also be noted that the Maglev train makes only one stop at Longyang Road subway terminal, which has three lines. Line 2 is the main line to downtown Pudong and Puxi stations such as Lujiazui and People’s Square.
I miss traveling from and into shanghai, I live in shanghai and I miss traveling to thier
Where can I find out if I can put computer parts in my luggage?
I was there in like 2019 and the bathrooms were literally so cool but you only a short amount of time🏃♀️💨
Great video. Are there any sleeping pods available at pudong international airport please? how can i get details for booking and payment (if so)? if not which hotels are in the airport terminal 2 please? URGENT (my travel agent booked a hotel 7km away which we do not want (too old and 1st time in China in transit)
I have 8 hours till i have to take my next flight.
Is it enough to see a little bit of the city and grab something tp eat?
I want to go from pudong International Airport to shanghai hongqiao railway station
Which shuttle bus will be best for it?
I have to go from shanghai airport to suzhou, is there bus available
A quick question that I didn't find out from the video and the airport bus website is down. Next week I will be arriving to Shanghai Pudong Airport and from there I need to go via train to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Is there maglev or any other kind of train directly from Pudong to Hangzhou, or do I have to first go to Hongqiao train station and take a train from there? Thank you.
Sorry for the delay in responding. It depends. There are trains departing from three different stations in Shanghai to Hangzhou. I would take one of the shuttle buses from the airport to the station that you are departing from. Bus#1 goes to Shanghai Hongqiao (non stop), bus #5 goes to Shanghai (main) station non-stop and bus #7 goes to the Shanghai south railway station.
To Shanghai downtown you can take the Shanghai Metro Line 2 (45 minutes, 7RMB), you can also take the Shanghai maglev (430KM / H, 7 minutes, 50RMB)!
Tao Shen can u inform me how to get to Nanjing road from pudong airport by Metro only? Thanks in advance
Asrita Irianti u can just take line 2. Noticeably, u need to interchange from 4-coach metro train to 8-coach one at Guanglan Road station .
Maglev is actually the option for fun only (and to boast you rode 430 km/h train). It doesn’t take you to the center, as it’s last stop is still suburbs. You will still need to get a cab there worth 70-90 rmb to get to any central destination.
陈晓帆 do i need to change the metro after reached Guanglan station？？一
I miss familymart in pkg so much
Lawson in Japan is much better
Love the video, gives me a little more confidence coming to China, still worried about my tattoos and will the immigration people let me in
They have tattoo shops in China as well.
Cant be any worse than Bejiing
4:14 👋😃
lol
if you arrive at pudong airport at about 12:05am, is there a metro rail you can ride on going toholiday inn express.
No, you need to take a taxi. Have the name and address of the hotel in writing in Chinese for the driver.
Can I pickup train tickets for different internal travels in Pudong when I arrive? Thank you
No. Only at train stations.
May I know what time does those mobile/simcard/wifi shops/kiosks at the arrival hall of SH pudong aiport open?
No idea but I suspect no later than 9pm.
Your channel is a terrific resource for first-time visitors to China, guys. Well done!
What would you say is the best way to get to the Radisson Blu on Nanjing West Road, Huangpu, from the Pudong International airport?
The taxi is always the best way but the subway has a stop near your hotel. This would be cheaper.
@@ChinaDIYTravel, thanks for your response.
I am a huge train enthusiast, and that's what brought me to your channel. So, I'd prefer to use that option as much as I can.
What I'm wondering about whether there is a subway station reasonably close to the Radisson Blu.
This will be my first visit to Shanghai (and Beijing), and I look forward to exploring the subway system.
@@BorClimey Yes, it is near the People square subway stop which is on line 2 (which departs from the airport). Go to Google maps and search for the hotel in Shanghai. If you zoom in, you'll even see which exit to take that is closest to the hotel.
@@ChinaDIYTravel, thanks, mate. For some reason, I'm unable to spot it on Google Maps. Ha ha... Shall look again, of course.
Actually, I'm thinking of taking the opportunity to ride the MagLev into town, and then transfer to Line 2. Hope the interchange is convenient, and not too long a walk.
@@BorClimey Yes, try again because I found it. You can watch our video on the Maglev, I think that we show how to transfer to the subway.
how late do the convenience store stay open and also the little place that sell sim card in the airport? i will be arriving in pudong airport around 8 pm and then pick up my luggage. So around 10 pm, I would be out. Will those place that sell sim card still be open? are they open 24/7?
I would guess that they close at 10pm but you should be out before then.
Can I buy a card that allows me to all types of public transportation at the airport including ferries, subways and maglev?
For the subway and Maglev, yes. Go to the Maglev website for details. The url is in the video description.
0:34 glorious Air Koryo
Hi, I will be going from Pudong Airport to Jing’an Temple: would the subway or Maglev be available? I will have luggage, would it be very difficult to travel on subway? Thanks for the useful video.
I need to get to the Kunlun Hotel Jing’an.
Will airport bus conductor have enough change if have ¥100 ? Do they announce each stop when they are stopping or do i need to be careful and remember when to get off ? When i reach my stop, will someone automatically come down to get my luggage out from the storage underneath? Sorry if my questions are silly but travelling first time.
Thanks
The fare is collected by someone else than the driver but it doesn't matter, this person will have change
At the stops, the driver comes out to open the booth for luggage.
The stops are indicated on the led screen at the front of the bus but you may want to download a map of Shanghai on maps.me as it works offline. This way you can track where you are.
China DIY Travel - China Train Ticket Booking
Thank you very very much.
If you have a connecting flight on this airport. Make sure you have at least 6 hours layover time minimum or just avoid this airport. You need to go thru immigration, customs, and re-check in your luggages 50 mins before boarding and immigration again on all connecting flights. If you are going to transfer to another terminal, the airport bus is available for every 20 mins.
hmmm 6 hrs is bit of a stretch i d say. but u should have 3 hrs for a smooth transit
Hi im doing a workstudy for my university and i need to know if you can pay this ticket with your smartphone and get a qr code or something similary.
Not now. The rail company is trying to do away with paper tickets. Chinese citizens will be able to just swipe their id crd instead of a ticket. For foreigner, there will be a QR code. For payment one can pay at the station with WeChat pay but this is only for Chinese or foreigners who live there and have a Chinese bank account.
@@ChinaDIYTravel This is the name of chinese language in this region country of Shanghai.
Hi, ..
can i know the difference of airport bus and long distance bus??
Long distance buses go to other cities while the airport buses go to various places in Shanghai.
@@ChinaDIYTravel does a long distance bus goes directly to south nanjing ?
I want to go Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station from pudong airport. My flight will land at 20:20. Is their any bus service on that time?
The bus to Hongqiao runs until 23h00.
hi I want to go from Pudong to General Long Distance Bus Station. Which one is the most convenient: airport bus or metro? And how much is the airport bus's fee ? Thank you.
There is a long distance bus station at the airport.
How do i get to Nanjing Road from Pudong International Airport? I want to ride the Maglev to city center and then what should i take?
After the Maglev you get on the subway line 2 to Nanjing road. Here is a subway map: exploreshanghai.com/metro/
dvsasdf then take line 2 to people square
Hi will travel to Nantong after arrive pudong airport, how i can get way of Nantong
Getting to Nantong is not simple. You will need to take a train to Nanjing then transfer for a train to Nantong.
Have you ever made a video bout luggage deposit in Shanghai airport? I wanna know where can I leave my luggage for a day-trip. Is it by locker? Or priced per luggage (carry-on).
Also, is it easy to find one in the airport?
I'm also here for this question😁 Did you find out anything?
@@aleksandrasist7759 just got back from Shanghai. So, on the departure floor just follow the “baggage storage sign”. Its very noticeable. My flight landed in terminal 1 so the baggage storage is between door 6-7. It’s a counter with 2 staffs that will make you scan the luggage and they will store it for you in a closed-room (only staff).
The price was very reasonable…it’s priced per bag. I remember paying for 2 carry-ons for 24hr-price (if i remember correctly, it got up to 10hr price, if it’s more than 10hr, paying 24hr is cheaper than paying hourly…hope im making sense). I paid the first time when depositing 30 yuan, then another 20 yuan when collecting the bags. (They make you split the payments). To conclude i paid 50 yuan for 2 carry-ons, or 25 yuan per bag for 24hr.
@@ah3626 Thank you!! Just leaving Shanghai now (literally just boarded), I left my luggage there too. All went well :)
Hi I Will be travelling next Monte to hongqiao Shanghai. I Will be arriving at pvg (pudong ) AirPort. Can you suggest which is the Best transportation Going to hongqiao Cube hotel? Thank you
The taxi is obviously easier but the shuttle bus to the Honqiao airport/train station is nearly as fast and much cheaper.
yup shuttle bus it is!
i am coming to this Airport next week, i have to take another flight to Wuhan. So, which terminal i need to go? 1 or 2?
We can't tell. As you see in the video, terminals are organized by airline. So, where you arrive and where you depart depends on which airline.
@@ChinaDIYTravel ok thanks, i have seen flight details, it says terminal 2.. by the weather, how is weather going during november and december?
Actually there are now 3 terminals, please recheck your sources
The new satellite terminal is accessed via T1. The information in this video is still correct. The public spaces shown in this video are still pretty much the same.
@@ChinaDIYTravel I'll remember do not spseak english from Shanghai is not avaliable in the country
I will travel to Shanghai after 3 months, and I think I will take the Meglev to reach my destination, but in the airport I will not have Chinese currency, can I pay in dollars or the man in the office can change the money for me?
You need Chinese currency. It is the only one accepted in China. As you can see in the video, there are ATMs as well as exchange counters.
Do they accept credit cards?
Navin Desai yes.
i will go to shanghai which is safe to ride to the hotel? this is my first time visiting
Everywhere in Shanghai is safe at any hour of the day. Taxi is faster but public transportation is much cheaper (if you land in daytime). Watch our video about the Eagle and our video about riding the subway.
