Shanghai PVG - 8 hour layover

[xen0n33]

I have an 8 hour + daytime layover in Shanghai coming up (LGW-PVG-SYD) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what to focus on for a day trip into the city?

(I've done a short trip to China before, so I have AliPay setup and have used it on the Guangzhou metro, so hopefully that will be relatively smooth.)

Nanjing Road is Shanghai's premier pedestrian street for shopping and eating. About 20 minutes is enough to walk the mile (1½ kilometers) of Nanjing Road.

The Bund, the heart of Shanghai, is a landmark with colonial buildings and skyscraper views. The night scenes of the Bund are extremely eye-catching. There are many cafés and restaurants there. It takes half an hour to shoot some pictures and takes about 2 hours for an in-depth discovery tour.

You can go straight from the airport to Nanjing Road by taxi, private transfer, or Metro Line 2. After spending some time shopping and eating in Nanjing Road, you can walk down to the Bund, which is at the end of Nanjing Road.

Depends what time you’re arriving?

I was in shanghai a couple months ago and we did a free walking tour, departed at 10am for four hours. We had two couples on the tour who were there during transit… they arrived about 7am and were leaving in the afternoon.
