Hi
I'm staying in Holiday inn express Zhabei. My flight is at 12:15 P.M. on Thursday.
If I take line 5 to Pudong airport at 8:00 A.M., is it enough early? I'm afraid having big traffic jam.
And the bus terminal from hotel, is it walking distance from my hotel?
The bus terminal is in the south square of Shanghai Railway Station?
Thank you.
