Hi Vters, we are flying from HK to Tokyo and will transit in Shanghai for one night. Our flight arrive in Pudong on Jul 28 at 2200. We need to catch a 0855 flight out from Hongqiao. There are 7 of us.
We have booked ourselves into Argyle International Aiport Hotel Hongqiao which is 5 minute walk.
Can someone please help suggest the following :
1. How much will it roughly cost us for a taxi ride from Pudong to Argyle International Aiport Hotel Hongqiao?
2. Is the 5 minute walk from Argyle International Aiport Hotel to the airport terminal doable, considering we have to lug our luggage and all? If not, considering the short distance, will we have problem getting a taxi?
Thanks a lot!
The taxi will cost abour RMB 180, or RMB230 if after 11pm. Note that you'll need two taxis.
There are also airport buses from Pudong to Hongqiao airport, which are about 20-25 RMB per person. This would be more economical.
Hongqiao airport is just a 3 minute walk across one road from the Argyle International Hotel; you won't need a taxi in the morning.
Have a great trip

Good to see you will stay at Hong Qiao. While there are better hotels in Shanghai, none are closer and close is important.
One thing I learned in the last 22 years of international travel, be mobile! Everything I own rolls. Be sure everyone in your group has rolling bags. They make you much more self-sufficient. You will easily be able to move from the hotel to the airport alone. If you need help, borrow a bellboy.
Thanks so much.
Crewrower, do you know when is the last Pudong-Honqiao bus? Where can I get hold of the bus schedule, if there is one?
If you're planning on taking the train/bus out of Shanghai, consider buying you're ticket through the hotel's business center. You'll save much more and it'll wipe out the hassle of having to explain yourself to a the Chinese working at the station...
The ticket's usually given to you a few hours later or early the next morning, which is also very convenient.

Over one hundred thousand separate pieces can be found in the Shanghai Museum. Ten galleries, a handful of exhibition halls and countless other rooms hold these ancient artifacts, the Shanghai City Museum is world renowned for its collection of bronzes, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy.
The oldest artifacts in the most historically and culturally important museum in Shanghai date back to the Xia dynasty – somewhere around the 21st century BC. They can be seen in the Gallery of Ancient Chinese Bronze, one of the most visited section in the entirety of the museum. Though, considering the relatively close quarters inside the museum in Shanghai, most visitors rarely pass over a single one.
Spread across the rest of the Shanghai City Museum, reflecting off the immaculately polished stone floors, are thousands of jade, bronze and gold pieces can be found along side paintings and sculptures – each one bringing China's colorful and well-preserved history to life. Since it is the only museum in Shanghai worth seeing, though it is somewhat smaller than most major museums in the world, you'll find enough here to last you days. With self-guided electronic tours and later summer hours, the Shanghai Museum is a common stop on any Chinese itinerary, especially for those seeking a glimpse into the far reaches of the past.
Dongtai Lu Market is the main "antiques" market in Shanghai. There are about 3 blocks of shops and stalls, all selling reproductions and fake antiques - okay, so it's more like a flea market. I particularly like the old Shanghai posters, but there are all sorts of stuff here, including Communist memorabilia. You won't find any genuine antiques here - the buying/selling of real artefacts is illegal. Bargaining is, of course, de rigeur.
