If you ever have the chance to ride the Shanghai maglev from Pudong airport into the city, splurge a little bit for first class. It's incredibly relaxing before or after a long flight and watching the world fly past at 270mph and not feeling crowded or touching other people for 8 minutes.

Oh, and don't trust any taxi driver who speaks English, you're extremely likely to be scammed. Don't ask me how I know.
