Shanghai - Insider Tips

Airports

Pudong International Airport
Tel: +86 (0) 21 3848 4500
Website
Pudong International Airport, 30km (19 miles) from the city, handles international and some domestic flights. An ultramodern structure of glass and steel, it is linked to central Shanghai via the world's first maglev train (the word stands for “magnetic levitation”). The train whizzes along at speeds at 270 mph (daily, 8.30am-5.30pm; 80 yuan) but deposits you on the eastern fringes of the city (Longyang Road Station). That's a 25-minute taxi ride into downtown Shanghai.

It is faster, ironically, to arrange for your hotel to send a car, or to take a taxi straight from the airport. Ignore the touts and go to the furthest exit to the right hand side of the arrivals hall, where there is an official taxi stand. Taxis to downtown Pudong (east of the river) will take 40 minutes and cost about Rmb110. Taxis to the city centre, known as Puxi (west of the river), take an hour and cost Rmb150.


Hong Qiao Airport
Tel: +86 (0) 21 6268 8918-2
Website
Just 19km west of the centre, Hong Qiao is the older and more central of Shanghai’s two airports. It handles domestic flights only; you may land here if you’re coming via Beijing. In Arrival Hall B, there is a tourist centre (open daily, 10am-9.30pm) providing maps and hotel bookings. An ATM that accepts foreign cards is in Arrival Hall A.

Taxis wait to the far left of the terminal exit; it's a brisk 30-minute ride into the city centre (allow 50 minutes to reach Pudong).

Beat the jetlag

Banyan Tree

The Westin
Bund Centre
88 Henan Zhonglu
Tel: +86 (0) 21 6335 1888
Metro: Henan Li
Website
This branch of the successful Asian chain is without question Shanghai's glitziest spa. Located in the Westin hotel, Banyan Tree offers massages, facials and the like, in a particularly luxurious setting. Every treatment room has its own shower and steam room, and some are designed to reflect different elements of fire, earth, water and air.

Prices here are relatively high for China: a two-hour body scrub and massage will set you back Rmb1100 ($130).

Magpie Massage
685 Julu Lu
Tel: +86 (0) 21 5403 3867
Metro: Shanxi Nanlu
Open: daily, noon-2am
This is an excellent place to come for a Chinese-style massage. It’s also much better value (Rmb190 for an hour-long massage). If you visit with friends or colleagues, you'll need to specify if you want a private room on your own, since it's common in China to place several beds in one large room. Many of China's masseurs are blind. The government matched them to the profession, reasoning that visually impaired people have limited career options and greater sensitivity to touch.

套用新东方给的一句句子:
Shanghai is a city of contrast.On one hand ,you have a sense of history and tradition ,on the other hand,you have the most contemporary lifestyle.
对上海的感情,我是又爱又恨,一言难尽.但我选择这里.
