The 5 Best Mass Transportation Systems in Shanghai, Shanghai Region

May 19, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station

It’s a very big train station. Reminds me of Londons British rail stations. It’s the gateway to any destination, easily connects you to metro to and from hotel. Also download China train app so you can see times you will not be able to purchase ticket in advance if a foreigner. No credit cards must have cash. Unless you have Alipay. And must have passport to purchase tickets if a foreigner. Welcome to high speed trains they way to travel in China for long distance to major city to city. Can get expensive if traveling in business class which is the way to go. For me it’s privacy and place to relax with out all the load phone calls everyone is making.

Shanghai Metro

Reviewed By v6arj - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

this has to be the best way to traverse the huge city of Shanghai, we were shocked to see how far out our booked hotel was so we decided to get the 3 day metro pass, just 80 juan, (about £9 / $10) what incredible value we used it 10 times a day for the 3 days and the system works incredibly well, lots of trains, short waiting times, spotlessly clean (everywhere) and impressive carriages. all well sign posted with english subtitles, we had a tricky job getting the english language version of the metro map, managing to get one in on elf the tourist info centres, life was much easier then.
