I arrive Saturday morning (17/8) at 07:45 at PVG from Bali DPS.
I'd like to take the Maglev to Shanghai and visit the Shanghai Tower (or go to the Shanghai Aquarium).
After arriving in Shanghai Longyang Road Station, how do I continue?
Is it easy to find a ticket office and the train itself at Pudong Airport?
Thanks for your help.

Tobias
From Longyang Road to the Bund, you can take metro line 18 to Changyi, then transfer to line 14 to Yu Garden, take Exit 6, walk northward to the crossing, then turn right and walk eastward to the Bund.
To the tower, you can take metro line 2 to Lujiazui, take exit 2 and walk westward across a footbridge, you can see the tower.
It's easy to find the ticket office and train at the airport.
