0ReplyReply10ReplyReplyAfter clearing immigration and collecting checked luggage, I will also need to purchase a sim card. Any suggestion on how much time I should allocate for that? If I book a cab using Didi, do I have to walk far to the waiting area? I am hoping to reach the train station by 1700, please advise if this is feasible with the traffic condition on Sunday afternoon. Thank you!
00ReplyReply00ReplyReplyNow I am wondering if 3 hours is enough time for immigration, customs, baggage claim and go to Terminal 1 to check- in the baggage. Or is it more convenient to take the train to Wenzhou? I hope you could give me advice, thank you
00ReplyTaking flight is convenient, since you connect at the same airport.
But I think it's cheaper to take a bullet train at Hongqiao Railway Station which can be reached by metro line 2 and it takes about 4 hours. The train ticket costs no more than CNY250.
