Half-Day Shanghai Layover Tour

For international layovers: Upon disembarking the plane, proceed directly to the 240-hour visa-free desk to acquire the Temporary Entry Permit. An immigration officer will review your application and, if approved, will stamp the permit in your passport.

Next, follow the signs for "International Arrivals" to find the exit. If you are unsure, you can ask airport staff for directions.

Look for your guide at the exit holding a sign with your name or the name of your group on it. If you do not spot the guide immediately, do not worry. Look around the exit area, wait for a while, or contact us promptly.

Accompanied by your guide, take the Maglev Train from Pudong Airport to Longyang Road, a quick 9-minute trip. Expect a short 10-minute wait for the Maglev, which is considered the fastest train in the world.

Why Recommend Taking the Maglev Train instead of Ground Transfer

The Maglev train has a top speed of 431 km/h, and the one-way trip from Pudong Airport to Longyang Road Station takes only about 8 minutes. This is much faster than other ground transportation methods, such as subways and buses, which can save a lot of time for passengers with limited layover time and allow them to reach the city center quickly to visit attractions.

Your private car is waiting outside to take you to Yuyuan Garden.

Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai is a tranquil oasis filled with traditional Chinese architecture, serene ponds, intricate rockeries, and lush flora. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it reflects classic Chinese garden design, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city.

After exploring Yuyuan Garden, proceed to the Bund in Shanghai. This historic waterfront area along the Huangpu River showcases a blend of classic buildings and modern skyscrapers, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower. Walk along the riverside, admire the view of Pudong, and experience the city's architectural juxtaposition.

Please note that lunch is not included in the tour package. However, there will be time for you to grab some fast food or snacks at your own expense during the tour. Feel free to explore nearby eateries for a quick meal to enjoy.

Your driver will transfer you to Longyang Station in Shanghai, and then catch the Maglev Train to Pudong Airport. This easy service ensures a quick and comfortable trip to the airport, making sure you reach your next flight on time.
