How to get there: Shanghai China
Shanghai is the only city in China to have two international airports. Pudong, 30 kilometers south east of the city centre, is the biggest of the two. Hongqiao in the western suburbs also handles some international flights. The fastest way to travel from Pudong into the city is on the Maglev train line. Within Shanghai, there are two Metro lines and several more at the planning stages. Boat rides along the Huangpu River are another option for getting about.
How to get to the track (and back)
You can take a train right at the airport to the Shanghai International Circuit. It is also possible to take the metro. You can find maps at every metro station. Note that you will have to transfer onto another line if you travel by metro. The easiest way of travelling to the circuit is by taxi. You can get a taxi at the taxi stand right outside the airport.
By law, when renting a car, non-Chinese must also hire a driver. This is no bad thing, as your driver will not only be familiar with the city, but also with its occasionally erratic driving habits. Alternatively, special buses will take you to the circuit from selected points around the city. Public transport to and from the track will be a future option because a Metro station is in the throes of being built at SIC.
