China - never a dull moment!

Thank you for the detailed insight. Originally we were going to take Metroline#2 but flight arrival changed to 11.30pm and we probably wont get out untill 12.15am..
Will see how we feel when we land and book in DiDi if needed. Thanks again
Ih sorry didn't read your arrival time - yeh if its around midnight just take a didi, taxi or transfer service. The service isn't a bad proposition if you haven't been to PVG before.

Or bus! Arriving after midnight I used to take the bus to Jing An was surprisingly quick and cheap!

Under normal arrival times I would definitely recommend the maglev/didi or maglev/Line2 option. The maglev really does shave 50% or more off the total travel time of line 2 alone.

Doing a quick search on Google, lots are saying the maglev closes before my arrival time.

On another note, from peoples park, should i fly out from SHA to HKG or do the trek to PVG.. just to try the maglev? Haha I haven't booked this flight

The maglev closes well before the last flights unfortunately, like 930pm or something.

Defo SHA for departures. It’s only 5 stops from People’s Park, whereas to Pudong I think it’s 7 stops to Loyang Road for the maglev, then have to take the maglev, and walk to check-in.

SHA so much easier!
