China - never a dull moment!

There have been ongoing murmurings of a HSR hub like Hongqiao adjacent to PVG for quite some time - how adjacent I do not know - Hongqiao trains -> planes / planes <- trains is just brilliant.
 
Another recommendation for Simon from Simons Service previously recommended by @Cruiser Elite.

Did a Great Wall tour with him recently, fantastic service, even to the extent of booking us tickets for other things we were going to later in the week when we weren’t with him.

Electronic payments now for foreigners - first AliPay and then WeChat

But bear in mind their will be fee with AliPay to upload - I think 5% - WeChat prolly not free either - but as with everything from the Land of Complication and Contradiction Ts & Cs are scant on clarity

SHA by far China's biggest and busiest dom port - a reasonable number of int dep also - and yet always a great supply of baggage carts- PVG and PEK same same for dep - albeit you might have to walk 50mtrs to get one at either of those - Aust dep ports could / should take notice.
