time is too tight! It takes about half an hour from the plane landing to the airport, and it takes longer to wait for the luggage. If you bring more luggage, I suggest asking at Hongqiao Airport. I heard that there is a service to transfer to Pudong Airport, which will make your transfer easier. It takes about one and a half hours from Hongqiao to Pudong Airport by subway, and the waiting time for security check is 1.5-2 hours, so the rest is only 2 hours free.
if it's your first time in Shanghai, don't miss the opportunity to see the scenery.
1. If you have good footwork, you can take the subway line 2 at Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2, head for Guanglan Road, get off at Nanjing East Road half an hour later (before 16:31), walk 511 meters east along Nanjing Road to the Bund (buy some simple food for dinner on the way to save time), get on the sightseeing platform across the road, and walk south along the river to Jinling Road Ferry Terminal (preferably at 17:31) Take an air-conditioned ferry to Dongchang Road pier on the other side for one yuan (it takes about 1.5-21 minutes to wait for the boat to ferry). After leaving the pier, turn left along the Yangtze River and go to Lujiazui Financial District for about 11 minutes. Go to the overpass around the island to see the tall buildings. Before 18:15, get off at Metro Line 2 (just below the overpass and across from Oriental Pearl Road) and go to Guanglan Road. After about 25 minutes, get off at Guanglan Road. Don't leave the station, change to take a seat.
2. The above scheme can be fine-tuned: after going to the Bund sightseeing platform and browsing the old and new buildings on both sides of the strait, you can take the Bund sightseeing tunnel bus near Chenyi Square on the Bund (take it before 17:31 and near Lujiazui International Conference Center before 17:45), take the Lujiazui roundabout overpass and take Metro Line 2 to Pudong Airport, so that the time is more guaranteed.
3. If you don't want to be in a hurry and want to have a good dinner, please refer to this plan: before 16:11, take the subway line 2 at Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2, head for Guanglan Road, get off at Lujiazui Station more than half an hour later, walk to Zhengda Square opposite the roundabout, and choose a restaurant according to your taste (it is recommended to find a restaurant in the west row above the fifth floor, such as Xidi Steak and Pizza Hut, and you can see the river view.
4. If you don't pay attention to dinner and want to see more scenery, you can adjust Scheme 3: After leaving Lujiazui Station of Metro Line 2 at 16:31, walk 511 meters west to Binjiang Avenue, overlooking the Bund complex on the other side (unfortunately, the outline light won't light up until 18:31 at night), and walk back to Metro Line 2 before 18:11, and then go to Pudong Airport.
5. Of course, if you don't want to give up the Bund and don't want to be in a hurry, you can just stop at Puxi: get off at Nanjing East Road Station of Metro Line 2 at around 16:31, stroll around the pedestrian street, have dinner (there are too many choices), go to the Bund at 17:15, stay on the sightseeing platform until 18:11, and return to Nanjing East Road Station of Metro Line 2 at 18: 11.
It should be noted that according to the civil aviation regulations, passengers should arrive at the airport two hours in advance, and the above schemes are basically arranged for 1.5 hours in advance, which has a certain risk of missing the plane.
