| Recently I am a frequent traveller from Pudong airport to Nanjing. My office is in Nanjing but in last month I have to visit one of my customers in Dalian several times. (Since everyone in my office prefer China Eastern, we only order tickets from this company.) Everytime the trip is compact and 1-2 days long, always first day arrival while second day leave. But almost all times I could only take flight to Putong first and find some way home later from there to Nanjing. My suggestion is, if you arrive Putong at night, the best choice is to find a hotel and take the train next morning. Everyday morning there are three fast and comfortable train to Nanjing at 7, 8, 9 a.m. The trip will take you about 200 minutes to reach your destination. My preference is the first train at 7 because I could appear in office before 10:30, a reasonable time to begin the work for that day. Contrarily, I do not suggest to take the train as soon as you get to the train station. It is already late, and even more you could calculate the time you enter your home if you catch the train after 9 p.m. The most unfortunate thing is to buy a ticket without seat number while the train itself is slow and stop for every little station on the way to Nanjing. (I took this kind of train when I was a graduate student. Such a terrible journey!) btw, Jianshuo, thank you to open up the new site for Pudong airport. I have so long time no visiting your blog. |
