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.
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.
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.
By Air: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is about 30 km east of downtown; Metro Line 2 takes about one hour to People’s Square. Airport Link rail, buses and taxis are alternatives.
By Rail: Shanghai Railway Station and Hongqiao Railway Station have long-distance services; Metro Line 2 reaches Pudong Airport.
By Road: Airport buses and taxis connect Pudong with central districts and the wider region.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Air India operates from Pudong Terminal 2, with check-in at island K. Both main terminals handle domestic and international operations, so flight type alone does not identify the correct building.
Male has a different pace from the resort islands often associated with the Maldives. The National Museum and Sultan Park sit close together, while the fish market and waterfront show the working capital. Hukuru Miskiy is a coral-stone mosque with access rules to check before visiting. Velana International Airport is on neighbouring Hulhulé, linked by ferry and road to the city. A visitor arriving from India should establish whether the next transfer goes to Male, Hulhumalé, a speedboat jetty or a seaplane terminal.
Choose Male for a stay centred on the National Museum, Sultan Park and the working waterfront. Hulhumalé offers a different base near the airport island, while an island resort may require a speedboat or seaplane connection arranged through the property. These transfer types are not interchangeable: a taxi into the capital will not replace a resort boat booking. Give the accommodation its flight details so the onward pickup is tied to the correct arrival.
Velana’s new Terminal 1 opened in July 2025 for international operations. Domestic flights use Terminal 2, and seaplanes operate from a separate facility, so a connection can involve moving between different parts of the airport. The Sinamalé Bridge provides a road link from the airport island to Male, alongside water transport options. In the capital, the fish market and nearby waterfront suit a working-city walk rather than a resort-beach plan. Hukuru Miskiy is an active mosque with controlled access, so its visit should be arranged through the appropriate local permission rather than assumed from a general sightseeing map. The museum and Sultan Park can be paired before a waterfront walk. For a short stop between flights, the useful question is whether the next departure is international, domestic or seaplane, because each points to a different return location.
December to April, usually about 26–31°C, with a comparatively drier season.
By Air: Velana International Airport (MLE) is on Hulhulé beside Male; the ferry crossing is usually about 10 minutes. Buses, taxis and speedboats serve different capital and resort destinations.
By Road: Buses and taxis use the bridge between the airport island, Male and Hulhumalé; ferries connect nearby islands.

Velana International Airport (MLE). Velana Terminal 1 handles international flights, while Terminal 2 handles domestic services. Seaplane departures use a separate terminal, so onward resort transfers may require a ground connection.
