It is amazing to see 6 more metro lines will be constructed in the near future. Currently, more than 100 metro stations are being constructed at the same time.

Very clear. Thanks for posting it. Would you happen to know where to get a hard copy?

I dont' know where you can get the hard copy. You can print it out :-D

what you think about this? http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown/2003/article/0,18881,536727,00.html
is it going to improve shanghai's transportation?

I have special cover on this on my pages on PVG and Maglev

http://www.google.com/custom?q=Maglev&sa=Search+this+site&cof=LW%3A795%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fhome.wangjianshuo.com%2Farchives%2F2003%2F04%2F13%2Fscreen-home.wangjianshuo.com-logo.PNG%3BLH%3A61%3BAH%3Acenter%3BGL%3A0%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fhome.wangjianshuo.com%3BAWFID%3A90751b6033199769%3B&domains=wangjianshuo.com&sitesearch=wangjianshuo.com

However, it is used for transporation between Pudong Airprot and Downtown only.

Hi! The metro map is very useful!!

My hotel is near Yu Garden, Renmin Lu and wld be travelling via the Maglev and the metro to Ren Min Guang Chang station. Will it be easy to get a cab to my hotel from the train station? or is there a nearer train station which I cld alight at?

Posted by: Loretta Chew on February 28, 2004 6:43 PM

I guess you can easily find a taxi at any time except raining and rush hours.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on February 28, 2004 8:31 PM

Hi
I'm Carsten, and I live in New Harbour Apt's, Yongshan Lu, Puxi.

I have some views on the traffic here :

I work in Jinqiao district and occasionally in Minhang New Development Zone.
I usually go by the bus to Jinqiao Lu (28 min.,1˝ Yuan). If I take a taxi it is 33 Yuan.
If I go to Minhang, I take the Metro line 1 from Peoples Square to Xinchuang and change to Metro Line 5 (the new one). See the map on http://www.urbanrail.net/as/shan/shanghai.htm
All in all 6 Yuan, 1hr.5 min. I guess the taxi will be 80-100 Yuan.
Line no. 5 has Alstom train sets, and these are much noisier than the Siemens at line 1-2-3. The seats are just terrible. (I guess that they must have been cheaper than Siemens.) And the speed is killingly slow. BUT, an important thing is, that it is faster and far, far safer than going by taxi !
If it is a short distance, I'd rather walk than go by taxi. (I want to spend my life with two good legs and my brain in full function.)
The transportation card is a wonderful thing - I wish we had this system in my country Denmark. But the bus requires cash in some cases, bring some 1 Yuans and ˝ Yuans in your pocket.
A hint is to learn the amounts for money (the numbers). It will be much easier if you understand how much they require, as not all shanghainese carry calculators or speak english ! It's not that difficult.
I hope these informations may be useful for someone.

Good Day. I am going to be visiting Shanghai beginning on June 30. I hope to stay at the Charms (Zhongfu) Hotel at 619 Jiu Jang Road. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to get there after I get off the Maglev?

Thanks!

Posted by: Colin on May 22, 2004 7:30 AM

Take Metro #2 after you get off Maglev and get out from the Henan Middle Red. Station. Walk ahead westwards and you will find the hotel.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on May 22, 2004 5:13 PM

Thanks for the information. I am truly looking forward to visiting Shanghai, as the first stop on my tour of China. Another favour....I will be arriving after 8:30 in the evening. Will I be able to cash traveller's cheques or exchange for CNY at that hour in the terminal?

Posted by: Colin on May 23, 2004 7:27 AM

I am afraid you cannot find exchange, but I believe you can withdraw money from the ATM machine if you us Visa.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on May 23, 2004 5:23 PM

Thank you once again.

I know I am starting to use you as a personal information office, but if you don't mind...........

I understand that it is custom to bring presents to people when you visit. Can you think of anything appropriate from Canada?

What is the best way to get from PuDong airport to the Shanghai train station via metro (and/or maglev where appropriate)? How long will it take?

Hi there...

I will have a 1st time business trip to China. Wonder what's the best way for the following city:-

Shanghai-Hanzhou-Yiwu

Please advice whether any train service for the above city.

Thanks

Posted by: Henry on June 22, 2004 3:53 PM

There is train services between those cities. If you can read Chinese, you can go to http://www.ctrip.com to get train information.

Hi, My first time to Shanghai. I need to go to Xinzhuang Industrial Development Zone in Minhang from Shanghai Yangtze Renaissance Hotel near ShanghaiMart. What is the best way to go their, by taxi, by train or by tube, and how long does it take by those transports. Thanks!


Simon

Posted by: simon on July 22, 2004 5:12 PM

Simon, the safest, cheapest and perhaps fastest way is to find the nearest Line no. 1 subway and go to Xinzhuang Station.
You go up in the hall and finds the entrance for Line no. 5 nearby (you have to pay out at line no. 1 and pay again at line no. 5).
This brand new line goes south to Minhang Industrial Development Zone.
From People's square it takes an hour to the end of line no. 5 in Minhang.
It can easily take 1.5 hours by taxi.

See a good map of the lines at
http://www.urbanrail.net/as/shan/shanghai.htm

Posted by: Carsten on July 22, 2004 8:38 PM

Hi,

Good map and good job for loading it. As I do not understand chinese could you tell me if the metro extends to the new Shanghai Racing Circuit holding the F1 race in September - Thanks Ian (UK)

Posted by: Ian Smith on August 12, 2004 3:25 AM

Hello! I'll be visiting Shanghai in September.
I'll be staying at the Hilton Hotel, No. 250 Hua Shan Road.
Can someone tell me the easiest way to get there after I get
off the Maglev?

Posted by: Kristiina on August 17, 2004 7:42 PM

Oh. Kristiina, you are lucky since the Hilton Hotel is near the Jing An Station of Metro Line No. 2 and the Long Yang Station is also on the Metro Line 2.

So take Metro Line 2 after you get off Maglev and go out at Jing An Station. Then the Hilton Hotel is only 5 minutes walk.

Hi,
I am going to stay in Shanghai Everbright and Convention Hotel. Can you tell me how to get there from Pudong Airport? Taxi, metro?

Posted by: Gerard Loeber on September 12, 2004 10:29 PM

Maglev to Long Yang Station, take Metro II to People's Square and transit to Metro Line #1 and get off board at Cao Bao Road.

Hello There,

I'm arriving in Shanghai by train and need to get to PVG. What's the easiest way to get to the airport? I understand there's a bus (#5?), where would I catch it?

How far would it be by taxi and what might be the cost?

Thx, Scott

Posted by: Scott on September 20, 2004 10:00 PM

By taxi, it is about 150 RMB. Airport bus No. 5 goes to Shanghai Railway station, but I have no idea about the exact location of the stop.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on September 20, 2004 10:03 PM

Go to the south exit of Shanghai Museum and ask for "Pudong feiji-jang wu".

Posted by: Shekhar Jitkar on October 9, 2004 3:55 PM

You can take Airport bus #5 http://www.wangjianshuo.com/personal/places/pudongairport/Bus.htm to Railway station where the Holiday Inn is near to. You can take Metro Line 1 and transit to Metro Line #2 at People's Square, then get off the train at Long Yang Road Station.

Hi, i want to go to Pudong Airport from Hong Feng Road, JinQiao (Near Ramada Plaza). What is the nice way to go to Pudong Airport.

Posted by: Mitesh on October 12, 2004 11:37 PM

Hi, I want to go from Pudong Airport to Ramada Plaza at Nanjing Lu. Bus No. 5 stops at People' Square, is that convenient? Do you know where exactely the bus stop is? Hotel shuttle bus line C seems to be an alternative. Do you know how much it is? Which is more convenient with big luggage?

Posted by: Ulrich on October 22, 2004 4:07 PM

> I will be staying at Peace Hotel. What should I do after getting off the Maglev?

A) Most convenient: Take a taxi from Long Yang Station directly to the Peace Hotel

B) Get onto Metro #2 (just adjacent to Maglev Station), buy a 3 Yuan ticket, take the Metro direction Zhong Shan Park (NOT Hitec Station) to HeNanLu Station, Get off and take a short taxi ride to the Peace hotel.

C) Only if you have almost no luggage and know your way: Do B) to HeNan Station, walk East on Nanjing Lu, you will hit Peace hotel on the left just before the Bund. It is probably a 8-10 Min walk.

You won´t need a detailed time table! Service is from 8:20 to 17:30 (8:30 from the airport) every day, at 20 min intervals.

There is a small ally outside Yu Yuan Garden near north east entrance full of costume jewellery wholesalers, my wife told me the selection is comprehensive and the price is good, but no bargaining. It is up to you to discover.

LOOKING FOR INTERN / ART STUDENT, ETC. IN SHANGHAI: Hello, I'm a commercial and fine art photographer from New York City. I'll be in Shanghai starting next week from Feb. 25 to March 15th. I'd like to have an intern, art or photography student accompany me some evenings while I photograph on Shanghai subway station platforms. This is an ongoing series that I do in different cities. Part of it can be viewed here: http://www.DASaunders.com/MM-open.htm.

The person doesn't have to know anything about photography; just dress warm & comfortably and keep an eye on what's happening around me so I can concentrate on taking photographs on a tripod. It would be good if they speak Chinese and some English, have a nice attitude, low-key, reliable on timing and have a cell phone so I can reach them easily. In exchange, I'd be happy to consult with them about their photography, cameras, info about the arts in NY or professional photography industry. If you are interested or know someone, please e-mail me from the website above ASAP with name, availability, age, e-mail address, home and cell phone # and a few sentences about yourself. Thanks!

P.S. If you know an art school or someplace else where I can put this request, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Mr Wang,

Chanced upon your website when I was researching for our first trip to Shanghai & Beijing during the last December holidays. Your detailed information about the trains shuttling between these 2 cities (and the photos) were very helpful. We were initially quite skeptical about the quality and service, but after checking out the info on your website, we decided to take the train anyway. And we enjoyed the trip tremendously! The trains saved us quite a bit of money and we made friends with our cabin mates as we took the 4-bedded soft sleeper.

And we found out the if we buy our tickets from the Shanghai Railway, the ticket price include a packed dinner.

Once again, thanks for your help and I look forward to more information being posted on your website.

Posted by: Carol on May 13, 2006 11:23 AM

The easist way to buy Maglev ticket is just directly go there, and buy ticket at the ticket window. There are always not too many people take it, so you are 100% sure to get a ticket at the last minute. Hotel desk may not be able to help.

You can buy one way or two way from Long Yang Road station to the Airport. I heard two way, you only pay 80 RMB, while one way is 50 RMB.

Holiday Inn Vista is just at the Exit of Metro Shanghai Railway Station. There is a metro station there and bring you to the People's Square, which is the starting point of Nanjing Road.

For places, please check out the placestosee section of this blog.

Hi
Anyone know a good site to check how long it takes from one station to another in the Shanghai metro system?
Need to get an estimate of travel btw/ Longyang Rd. and planned Luban Rd. Station.

Also wich bus is appropriate from Pudong Airport to Puxi side of Lupu bridge?


Thanks!

What is the best way to go from Shanghai to Yiwu city?

Any information will help. Thanks!

Posted by: susan on September 27, 2006 2:55 PM

Susan, There is a train that runs from Shanghai to Yiwu city. It is from the train station, you must search for "train from shanghai to yiwu" on google and there you will find a timetable. The trip is 4hours, do not take the hard seat ticket.

Good day Jian Shuo:

Thanks for posting the amazingly detailed map of Shanghai (the one that I can use the map viewer).

- is there a version which also has the street names in English? (even just the major streets)?
- what do those numbers like 136, 141 (white numbers in red blocks) mean? do they refer to hotels, buildings? is there a place where I can find that list?
- basically I ma looking at the exact location of the Metropole Hotel, and the Tianci Service Apartment in Huangpu.

Thanks again

Hi,

My hubby and I will be moving to Shanghai in June. We'll be staying in Minhang district as his work place is situated there. I've tried to locate some info on lodging (apartments), transport, food, housekeeping services and marts but couldn't get much as i can't read chinese either. From what i see, it looks as if Minhang is quite isolated and not very convenient when it comes to food and entertainment. Would appreciate if you can share some information on the above. Thanks

Hi...I will be working in Shanghai for 3 months. Do you advise me to take the metro in the morning or bus? I heard that the metro is so packed that you can hardly get into the train. Please advise me. Thank you.

Chery:

Take a taxi if you want to avoid the crowds. My office was a 15 minute walk from my home and I took the cab to avoid the crowds on the streets!

Hi everybody,

i will fly to Shanghai soon, and then i need to go directly to Nanjing, so, i would just like to know in which train station do i have to take the trip, and how to get from Shanghai airport to the railway station... if you can tell me the best way

thank you!!!

Posted by: sr trujillo on August 23, 2007 4:11 AM

@Trujillo, you should use the Shanghai Railway Station (not Shanghai South Station) for trains to Nanjing.

Pudong Airport ---- Maglev ----> Long Yang Road Station
Long Yang Road Station ----- Metro #2 ----> People's Square
People's Square ---- Metro #1 -----> Shanghai Railway Station

Am arriving on Dec. 4th to Shanghai and planning to stay at Ramada Zhabei...what is the easiest way to get there from Pudong airport? if by taxi how much should I pay? Is it a good area to stay for first time in Shanghai.. am also planning later to go to a conference at Everbright Convention Center?
thanks for any help or info.

Posted by: Wally on November 30, 2007 1:17 PM

Hi Keith, a little late but maybe it will be useful for others. The Pudong Fake Market is the shopping center you referred to, where you can buy branded clothes and stuff. It is located at the metro station of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, in Pudong (line 2, green, two stops westwards from the Maglev in Longyang Rd.)

Posted by: Julio (external link) on December 17, 2007 12:25 PM

Hi,
I happen to come across your page every now and then when I am searching for something. You have an amazing amount of information on your site. Thank you!
This time I was looking for a subway map and found your site again. As it is quite out of date I was searching a little longer and found a great site you could maybe add as link. This one should always be up to date.

PS:

http://www.exploreshanghai.com/ditie/

It shows a subway map where you can calculate the time and cost between two stations. It also shows first and last train departures. I fell in love with it immediately!

Best,
Nora
