Once known as a city of decadence in the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai has evolved to become one of China’s busiest financial and tourism ports. Often the inspiration of sinful novels and creative cocktails, Shanghai is more a figment of one’s imagination than a real city. But travellers booking flights to Shanghai will soon discover why Time magazine named it the “world’s most happening city.”
Stand in Shanghai’s city centre and let the massive steel skyscrapers, alluring restaurants and bars, and electric lights captivate you. Only on your flight to Shanghai will you experience a bit of quiet and calm. Once you arrive in Shanghai, the city will entice you to engage in a little excitement and adventure, all along the backdrop of Asian influence.
Shanghai is full of surprises. A flight to Shanghai will be the first of many exciting adventures tourists will happen upon in the world’s largest city. Constantly evolving and ever-changing, Shanghai embraces excitement and exudes sophistication. Book a cheap flight to Shanghai and within minutes of landing, China’s richest city will leave you wanting more.
Summer in Shanghai can be quite uncomfortable. July and August temperatures can reach the mid-30s (C) with 80 per cent humidity. Winter is damp and chilly with December and January temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, but it rarely snows. Temperatures in May and October are in the low 20s. Spring has more rain than fall, but an occasional typhoon can hit in the fall.
Most visitors choose to take a taxi in Shanghai. Not only are they easy to find, but they’re cheap too. Just keep an eye out for the primary-coloured Volkswagen cabs and flag one down. You’ll find that the smaller, older cars tend to be cheaper, and they all run off of metres. The subway is the best public transportation option. It’s inexpensive, and the public buses are too crowded, too confusing and just plain uncomfortable. The adventurous traveller might want to rent a bike. There are plenty of well-defined bike lanes, but it can be a bit scary with all the traffic. Stick with the other bikes when crossing a street or intersection. Heading out on foot is a great way to soak up the local colour. Between the pedestrians, motorists, scooters and cyclists, streets can be very crowded; be aware of your surroundings. Jaywalking can be dangerous and is frowned upon anyway. Tourists are allowed to rent cars for use inside the city limits.
Located on the eastern coast of Pudong, approximately 19 miles (30 km) east of central Shanghai, Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is one of Asia’s main aerial hubs. In 2010 it handled 40.6 million passengers, making it the third busiest airport in China and the 20th busiest in the world.
Shanghai Pudong consists of two passenger terminals, flanked on either side by three parallel runways, with the Maglev Railway Station located at the centre of the complex. Inside the terminals, you’ll find a fair variety of services and facilities, in addition to a number of upmarket retail and duty free stores.
A range of renovations are planned: by 2015 a third passenger terminal, satellite terminal, and two more runways will be built, the result of which will increase the airport’s handling capacity from 60 to 80 million passengers per year.
Like most major international hubs, Shanghai Pudong can get chaotic during peak hours. Not all staff are bilingual; however, they are generally friendly and helpful. Overall, the airport is clean, efficient and reasonably modern.
Situated in Changning District, approximately eight miles (13km) west of Shanghai is Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). The facility serves as one of the main transit hubs for China and more than 90 airlines make use the airport’s facilities.
The airport is divided into two terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The latter was opened in early 2010 and is four times the size of the original terminal. The new terminal houses 90 per cent of the carriers and Terminal 1 is now used for international flight and by Spring Air, the low-cost airline.
Since the completion of the Shanghai Pudong Airport on the other side of the city, the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport has been used mainly for domestic flights. However, Hongqiao Airport is closer to the city and has excellent connections to nearby hotels.
