Destination & City Travel Guide
About Shanghai
Shanghai is organised around the Huangpu River. The Bund looks across to Pudong’s towers, while Yuyuan Garden and nearby streets offer a different scale of buildings and shops. Museums and former lane neighbourhoods fill out a longer stay. Pudong International Airport is well east of central districts, so arriving visitors should decide whether a hotel is near People’s Square, the Bund or a metro interchange before choosing a transfer. The airport metro is useful, but its travel time is longer than the map may suggest.
Read more about Shanghai
Tips for travellers from India
People’s Square is useful for central metro connections, while the Bund suits a stay focused on the historic riverfront. A Pudong hotel places the towers on the same side of the Huangpu as the airport, but the district is large and the final station still matters. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road rather than the Bund itself; onward metro or road transport is needed. Metro Line 2 offers another route from Pudong Airport into the city.
Air India checks in at Terminal 2, at island K. The airport’s other terminal is a separate check-in building, and a domestic connection may require collecting bags and completing new departure formalities. Hongqiao is a different Shanghai airport, not another Pudong terminal. In town, the Bund promenade and a Pudong observation visit face each other across the river but need a crossing between them. Yuyuan Garden belongs to a smaller-scale old-city route, while People’s Square museums form another cluster. Museum of Art Pudong is on the newer waterfront side and has its own exhibition tickets. For a short visit, select one river crossing and build the day around the sights on either bank rather than repeatedly returning to the same metro interchange. Pudong Airport’s distance makes the last transfer a meaningful part of the departure day.
Best time to visit Shanghai
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.

How to reach Shanghai
By Air: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is about 30 km east of downtown; Metro Line 2 takes about one hour to People’s Square. Airport Link rail, buses and taxis are alternatives.
By Rail: Shanghai Railway Station and Hongqiao Railway Station have long-distance services; Metro Line 2 reaches Pudong Airport.
By Road: Airport buses and taxis connect Pudong with central districts and the wider region.
What to do in Shanghai

Explore Yuyuan Garden.
Visit an exhibition at Shanghai Museum.
Follow a riverside path on the West Bund.
Shanghai airport information
Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Air India operates from Pudong Terminal 2, with check-in at island K. Both main terminals handle domestic and international operations, so flight type alone does not identify the correct building.
About Beijing
Beijing brings imperial palaces, hutong lanes and large modern districts into a city that rewards geographical planning. The Forbidden City and nearby central sights form one group, while the Summer Palace and Great Wall require separate outings. Travellers from India arriving at Beijing Capital Airport should distinguish it from Daxing Airport before arranging a pickup. The Capital Airport rail connection is useful for reaching the urban network, but the final transfer depends on the hotel district.

What's new in Beijing
- December 2025: the central section of Metro Line 17 opened between Workers' Stadium and Shilihe, adding connections through eastern central Beijing.
- January 2026: Wangjingxi station opened on Line 17, creating another interchange with Lines 13 and 15 for journeys across northern Beijing.
Tips for travellers from India
Dongzhimen is a practical base when the airport rail connection is the main concern. A Qianmen stay instead places the focus on the older central streets. These choices serve different itineraries: a convenient arrival interchange and a heritage neighbourhood are not the same location.
Build a central day around the Forbidden City and its surroundings rather than appending the Summer Palace at the far end of the afternoon. The palace gardens deserve a separate northwest outing. A Great Wall excursion is a third commitment beyond the urban sightseeing circuit, with its own road journey and walking route.
Keep Capital and Daxing airport names visible in any transfer booking, especially when arriving on one airline and leaving on another. For evenings, remain in the neighbourhood already being explored: hutong lanes reward a slower walk, whereas the main avenues around the large monuments create much longer distances than a compact map implies. Qianmen and Dongzhimen therefore offer two distinct starting points for the same city.
Best time to visit Beijing
April to May or September to October, about 10–25°C, for open-air sites.
