Plan the practical details

Who this suits
For travellers who want a city stay with waterfront time, neighbourhoods, museums or food. Choose the interests that deserve more time before adding excursions.
How much time to allow
Use three full city days as a starting suggestion. Allow arrival and departure time separately; add an excursion only after comparing the complete journey.
What to combine
Compare more time in Shanghai with a separate excursion or a next base such as Beijing. Keep transport and changes of hotel visible in the plan.
Where to stay
Compare a base near your chosen city activities with a quieter neighbourhood stay. Confirm the exact property, room, breakfast and arrival access.
Getting here
Share whether you arrive at Pudong or Hongqiao, with the flight, terminal and time. Agree the transfer after the airport and luggage needs are clear.
