For 2008 we are rolling out the 'red' carpet - with a great package and of course our staff on hand to help make this an unforgettable weekend at the most exotic destination of the tourney!

GETTING THERE
Air
The main international airport is Pudong airport located 30 Km outside the city. You can look on www.kayak.com, www.skyscanner.net or www.expedia.com for tickets.
Bus
Local buses are hard work. During the rush hour and the weekends they are packed to the hilt and virtually impossible to board. Stops can also be unpredictable: you may be helplessly carried past your destination. Pickpockets are another drawback, so travel at your own risk.
Car
Only residents can hire a car in Shanghai; we recommend not driving in Shanghai unless you're familiar with the nightmare one-way system and the appalling conditions on the roads.
Taxi
Shanghai's Volkswagen taxis are reasonably cheap and easy to flag down, except during rush hour. Only a few take credit cards. Request the driver to use the meter.
Underground rail
Shanghai's subway system is a dream, and probably the best way to get around town. Trains are fast, cheap, clean and easy, although they can be crowded at peak hour. The new Mag Lev (Magnetic Levitation) line has started regular services between the city and Pudong airport. The 30km (19mi) trip will take just eight minutes
The ticket price is around 40 RMB (US$5.06) for airline passengers with proof of an airline ticket purchase receipt (plane boarding passes are not acceptable). One-way VIP ticket costs 100 RMB (US $12.66). A round-trip ticket costs 80 RMB (US$10.13).
Take the train to Longyang road and from there get on the Line 2 Subway and get off at Jing’an Temple station, the hotel is right across the street.
While there are some fascinating places to stroll through in Shanghai, new road developments, building sites, jam-packed walkways and congested traffic conditions often make walking in most areas an exhausting experience.
Airport Transfers
We can arrange private transfers from the hotel to the airoport. Ask us for further information. Please suply all flight information.
Directions from Hotel Equatorial to the circuit
The circuit is about 30 Km from the city centre. There are two locations for shuttle service to the racetrack which are Shanghai Hongkou football stadium and Shanghai International Gymnastics Center. Package customers of Pole Position Travel will have return hotel-circuit transfers provided on Sat/Sun.
