SWISS Points: Join Date: Sep 19, 2007 Status: offline	Hey everybody I'm going next week to China and have to go from the Shanghai Airport PVG to Wuxi downtown. It is approx. 130 miles. What is the cost of a taxi or is it easier to go with the train. It is my first time in CN and I'm not sure whether I have the patient to by train after a 14.5 hours flight. Thanks for any help, and take care

You'll spend more than 100 RMB by taxi (about 13 dollars), but my recommendation is to take the MagLev train (magnetic levitation) which will take 8 minutes to cover the ground that a taxi will take 30 minutes to cover. After you collect your luggage go to the second floor of the airport and walk through the skywalk that takes you over to the MagLev station. It costs 40 RMB (if you show them your flight stub from the day). Ride it to the terminus and then get in a taxi. The cost might be the same when you add together the MagLev and a taxi, but it's more convenient.

GUEST12196	That would be REALLY expensive.....why don't you get the taxi to the train station or the bus station....would take similar time for you to sit on the bus as compared to the taxi

The problem is your ETA time for your flight. When you will arrive at Shanghai? Enjoy! Yours sincerely, Susan Zheng(China Tour Guide) MSN: hotmail.com\|Susan205060

Dear S

Thanks for your reply, I will arrive from Chicago at 14:25 in PVG. So I think the time frame is not the issue, just the 14 hour flight :(

I contacted a taxi company in Shanghai and they will charge me 800 RMB for one way from PVG to Wuxi.

That is my first visit in CN and I don't know how evrything works there and I know myself after this long flights I'm tired and grumpy :)

Thanks again

Swiss

No need to waste your money on a taxi (unless if someone else is paying for you), and no need to bother with going to town in order to get a bus/train to Wuxi. Departures at 1520, 1620, 1720 and 1820. Fare is 100 RMB.
