Trip.com Group has unveiled an exciting opportunity for international travelers passing through Shanghai: the “Shanghai Express” free layover city tours. These tours are designed to transform your brief stopover into an unforgettable exploration of Shanghai’s top highlights—all within a few hours.
Launching on April 15, 2024, the Shanghai Express tours will be available to international travelers with layovers exceeding eight hours at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Whether you’re eligible for China’s 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy or holding a 24-hour temporary entry permit issued by the airport border inspection, you can embark on these immersive city tours.
Upon arrival at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, travelers can register for the Shanghai Express tours at the Trip.com Group currency exchange counter on Island A in Terminal 2’s Departure Hall. With professional guides available to assist with registration, travelers can choose from various tour timings, each accommodating a maximum of ten participants and lasting five to six hours.
The Shanghai Express tours offer an array of itineraries curated to showcase the best of Shanghai’s past, present, and future. From classic highlights like the historic Yu Garden and iconic Bund skyline to romantic strolls along the charming Wukang Road, each tour promises an immersive experience led by English-speaking guides.
The launch of Shanghai Express tours comes amid a significant rise in transit numbers across mainland China, with over 330,000 travelers experiencing layovers in the country last December alone—a monthly growth of 47%. International airports in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou have emerged as key transit hubs, attracting travelers from various regions, including Singapore.
As China continues to relax visa requirements and enhance its appeal to international travelers, Trip.com Group remains committed to simplifying travel experiences. From visa-free entry for eligible travelers to strategic partnerships with airlines and digital payment platforms, Trip.com Group aims to make exploring China’s endless possibilities a seamless and memorable journey for travelers worldwide.
