Shanghai to Yiwu by Car / Taxi, Bus, Train

- Updated on Aug.18, 2024.

From Shanghai Pudong(PVG) Airport:

• For saving time, convenience, flexibility, and comfort , i recommend take a car/taxi from Pudong(PVG) airport to Yiwu. Get picked up from airport exit, dropped off at Yiwu hotel door. 
• Bus is not pleasant, but still a good option for cheap and easy, you see more details  bus from Pudong airport to Yiwu. 
• Only if you have train tickets / booking number ready IN HAND, for puncture, safety, and comfort,  i can recommend take a fast train from Shanghai to Yiwu. The train itself only takes 1 - 2hrs, but plus transaction time, it can easily take 5+ hrs before reaching your Yiwu hotel. 

*If you're 3+ persons travelling together, taxi/car is best value for money. Travelogue:  Best Way for 3 Persons to Travel from Pudong Airport to Yiwu.
