Getting There

Shanghai is the largest city in China. Getting to Shanghai by air is one of the most convenient ways to reach to the city. Shanghai is home to two of the international airports in China. They are the Pudong International Airport (PVG) and the Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). The city is connected to about two hundred cities, both internally and internationally.

Public and private buses and taxis are the common mode of transport to get to Shanghai by road. Getting to Shanghai by road is a unique experience and an adventurous journey to reach the city.

The city of Shanghai is connected by sea to the rest of the world through Shanghai Port. Ships sail to Shanghai Port from about four hundred foreign ports all around the world. But owing to the slow pace of the ships traveling into the sea, voyages to some of the long distance sea routes have been discontinued.

About seventy pairs of trains connect Shanghai with various cities across the country. Some pairs of trains owned by Shanghai West Railway Station operate from Shanghai to Chengdu, Ganzhou, Hengyang, Zaozhuang, Yantai and so on. Eleven pairs of train run daily trips from Shanghai South Railway Station to Jinshan, Jiashan, Hangzhou and others.
