Getting from Pudong Airport to Pudong Avenue area at night
This is kind of an inverse of What is the best way to go to Pudong Airport from downtown Shanghai at night?. My flight lands late enough that metro is closed (and on December 31st!), and I need to get to a hotel near Pudong Avenue metro station.
According to https://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/shanghai/transportation/pudong-airport-bus.htm and http://www.shanghai-airport-transfer.com/transportation/pudong-airport-shuttle-bus.htm, there is a night bus line which stops at "Dongfang Hospital (Pudong Ave)" but I've failed to find exactly where (and so whether it would be close enough to walk to the hotel). There are also hotel shuttle buses going to the area but I might not get to them in time.
Failing that, I assume the only option is taxi. How much is it likely to cost (taking the date into account)?
Best Answer
Another option is to use Didi Chuxing (an Uber clone in China). It shows the amount of money before calling so you do not need to worry about the hefty charge (just checked it now and found it costs 161 RMB).
The one downside is that it is available only in Chinese, but many people at the Pudong Airport speak English and would help you. It is unlikely that the driver speaks English, though it is true of a normal taxi as well. You can pay by credit card (even Amex).
