1 From Airports to Campus by Taxi

There are two airports in Shanghai: the Pudong International Airport in east Shanghai and the Hongqiao International Airport in west Shanghai. The most convenient (and effective) way to get to the North Zhongshan Road campus of ECNU from the airports is by taxi, and all foreign participants are strongly recommended to do so. From Pudong Airport, it takes about one hour and 200 CNY, while from Hongqiao Airport, it takes about 30 minutes and 60 CNY. You would probably need to show the following words in Chinese to the taxi driver:
