Ok, it was my first time in China. My arrival from Manila was in Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) last September 8, 2018.
As soon as I landed in PVG, I took a bus that goes to Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station which is adjacent to Shanghai Hongqaio International Airport.
From there, I took a bullet train to Huangshan Mountain. After my 5 days stay in Huangshan, I finally returned to Shanghai for a 2 days stay to have an ample time to roam around the City before flying back to Manila.
In order for me to reached interesting places easily, I stayed in Phoenix Hostel Shanghai - LaoShan which is located in the heart of Shanghai.
Due to the typhoon Mangkhut my flight was delayed for another 2 days. Therefore, I spent those days more of sight seeing and to me the most memorable I had been to in my whole life was in Zhujiajiao Water Town.
How to get to Zhujiajiao:
By Bus to Zhujiajiao is taking the Huzhu Express Bus (Hùzhū Gāosù Kuàixià 沪朱高速快线) at the corner of Pu’an Lu and Yan’an Lu (near People's Square), which takes you directly to Zhujiajiao Bus Station in about an hour for 12.00 RMB per person (one-way ticket). Those with a larger budget can opt for a taxi, which will cost you around RMB150-200 from downtown Shanghai.
By Metro to Zhujiajiao is to Shanghai Metro Line 17 and the Zhujiajiao Station (朱家角站) is second to last stop on Line 17. To access Line 17, transfer from Hongqiao Railway Station (虹桥火车站) at the terminus of Lines 2 and 10. From there, your journey to the ancient town will take approximately 40 minutes and cost 7.00 RMB. From there, it's just a short one to two kilometer walk to the main tourist area.
