Shanghai Airport Link Line is a new subway line start operation in Dec. 2024. It provides fast transportation between the two shanghai airport: Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA). The train runs at 160 km/hour, and it takes the subway train 40 minutes to complete the journey between PVG and SHA airport (at an affordable fare of RMB 26). The trains runs frequently from 6:00am to 22:00pm at 15 min per departure.
I took the Airport Link from PVG airport to my hotel. I observe that the Airport Link Line station is a bit far away than the standard subway station (line 2) at the airport. Once on the train, the Airport Link Line runs fast, and it only took me 28 minutes to complete the journey from PVG airport to Jinghong Road station. However, the station of the Airport Link Line is very far away from other subway station. In 3 of the stations (Shanghai International Resort, East Kangqiao, South Sanlin), it is not connected to any subway stations. In Jinghong, it took me about 12 minutes to walk from the Airport Link Line station to the subway station. So it is not a very convenient option to attempt to subway all the way to your hotel. You should probably rie the Airport Link Line to a nearby station, and then took the taxi.
