At least 45mins drive from shanghai city. Large airport and travelers to us need at least 3 hrs arrival before departing extra security checks And questioning.. also very important lesson learn there are lots of us websites that china block so need to get a chip phone there or get a app to unblock.
Sites I learn were block and I couldn't access
1-Facebook
2-Google search engine- yahoo works
3-WhatsApp - terrible couldn't even open app no much for free call- u have to download wechat Chinese app
4- Dropbox and one drive to share files wasn't accessible but wetransfer works..
Shopping malls are twice the sizes of us malls and ver grandiosa
Only accepts Chinese RMB- current exchange rate was 6.3 to US dollar
Some stores o Ly accepts cash or Chinese no card barcode scan pay- which is the most popular method of payment it's like Apple Pay in us..
Hope this helps on your journey plenty to see and foo no matter what you are there for..
