Transportation Information

Arriving in Shanghai

You can reach Shanghai by air or rail. The city has two major airports—Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA)—and several railway stations, including Shanghai Hongqiao Station, Shanghai Railway Station, Shanghai South Station, and Shanghai Songjiang Station. (Some suburban stations such as Jinshan North or Nanxiang North may appear as “same-city stations” on 12306. Please select major stations to avoid booking the wrong ticket.)

Since the Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is far from most transportation hubs, please pay attention to first/last train times and allow sufficient transfer time.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Airport)

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is one of the main airports serving domestic and international flights. It has Terminals T1, T2 and satellite terminals connected by the Pudong Airport APM. The airport is large and crowded—reserve extra time.
