Shanghai Flights

Shanghai is bright and shiny, with glimmering temples, modern museums and skyscrapers reaching for the heavens…right? Well, yes, but there’s more. Like a mobster nicknamed ‘Big-Eared’ Du, buddhas with more gems than Bey at the Grammys, and a delicacycalled the “hairy crab”.

Bring your walking shoes, eating pants and sense of adventure, and lastminute.com.au will bring the cheap flights to Shanghai.

Getting Around Shanghai

Flights to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) will put you about 45km east of downtown. Don’t worry about getting around—the city’s train system has you covered, with signs and maps in English and Chinese.

When You Land…

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise! At least, that’s what the folks doing sunrise tai chi at the Bund believe. If you’re flyingin early, grab a tea and watch the show, then walk over the Waibaidu Bridge for great city views.

Got an afternoon flight to Shanghai? The Jing'an district is on the same subway line as the airport, so catching a glimpse of places like the Jade Buddha Temple are a breeze. Blinging buddhas and incense ceremonies are the perfect intro to your holiday, don’t you think?

Nighttime arrivals have it easy: It’s all about the shows. Book your Shanghai accommodation near downtown and you could spend every night at the Centre Theatre, watching the city’s famous Acrobatic Troupe, jazz recitals and more.

Live Like a Local

In a place where “Have you eaten?” is used as a greeting, you can guess what’s next. Channel the residents in the Xuhui neighbourhood while you stuff your face with awesomely named foods like drunken chicken, hairy crab and lion’s head meatballs.

Shanghainese are thrifty, too—after all, wouldn’t you rather spend your cash on hairy crab? Think like a local when you bundle your airfares and hotel with lastminute.com.au’s Shanghai packages. You don’t have to spend that dough you save on hairy crab, by the way. Deep-fried honeybees are also an option.
