Flying to Shanghai with China Eastern Air … totally worth it

We're traveling to Harbin, but the return flight has a 10+ hour layover in Shanghai. Let's see what else we can do besides waiting. ✈️ I've been to Shanghai before, so I can estimate the time. However, it's best to arrive at the airport about two hours before departure.
We'll be arriving at Shanghai Airport at 12:50 PM, and we estimate our departure time to be around 2:00 PM.
At 2:00 PM, we'll take the Maglev and then the subway into Shanghai. It takes about 50 minutes to reach Lujiazui Station, or the Pearl Tower area. It's right there at Exit 1, so you can stroll around and take photos.
At 4:00 PM, we'll head to the 1000 Trees complex. We'll take the subway to Jiangning Road Station, Exit 1, and then walk a short distance (about 8 minutes).
At 5:00 PM, we'll take the subway to the International Cruise Terminal, Exit 3. Cross the street to the waterfront at The North Bund Greenland. You can stroll here until evening. Or you can go to the mall across the street for something to eat (I recommend eating your fill, it's a big mall with a lot of food).
If you have some time left, you might want to check in at another spot near the old buildings or Wukang Mansion. Go to Jiaotong University Station, Exit 1.
7:00 PM: Take the MRT back to Longyang Road Station to catch the Maglev back to the airport. Check in and wait for your flight at midnight. It's a perfect time! 😊
✅ Important: Always allow 2-3 hours. You can also choose to have dinner at the airport after check-in. The last Maglev train departs around 9:30 PM, so be sure to catch the last one!
