Destination & City Travel Guide

About Shanghai

Shanghai is organised around the Huangpu River. The Bund looks across to Pudong’s towers, while Yuyuan Garden and nearby streets offer a different scale of buildings and shops. Museums and former lane neighbourhoods fill out a longer stay. Pudong International Airport is well east of central districts, so arriving visitors should decide whether a hotel is near People’s Square, the Bund or a metro interchange before choosing a transfer. The airport metro is useful, but its travel time is longer than the map may suggest.

Read more about Shanghai

Tips for travellers from India

People’s Square is useful for central metro connections, while the Bund suits a stay focused on the historic riverfront. A Pudong hotel places the towers on the same side of the Huangpu as the airport, but the district is large and the final station still matters. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road rather than the Bund itself; onward metro or road transport is needed. Metro Line 2 offers another route from Pudong Airport into the city.

Air India checks in at Terminal 2, at island K. The airport’s other terminal is a separate check-in building, and a domestic connection may require collecting bags and completing new departure formalities. Hongqiao is a different Shanghai airport, not another Pudong terminal. In town, the Bund promenade and a Pudong observation visit face each other across the river but need a crossing between them. Yuyuan Garden belongs to a smaller-scale old-city route, while People’s Square museums form another cluster. Museum of Art Pudong is on the newer waterfront side and has its own exhibition tickets. For a short visit, select one river crossing and build the day around the sights on either bank rather than repeatedly returning to the same metro interchange. Pudong Airport’s distance makes the last transfer a meaningful part of the departure day.

Best time to visit Shanghai

March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.

Shanghai airport information

Airport Information & Terminals

SFO: San Francisco International Airport. SFO connects by BART to the city, while cabs or app rides are easier for Silicon Valley, family luggage or late arrivals. Fog and bridge traffic can affect plans.

PVG: Shanghai airport system. Shanghai can mean Pudong or Hongqiao. Pudong is common for long-haul international flights; Hongqiao is closer to many business areas and domestic rail links. Check the airport before booking transfers.
