Getting around

Shanghai has the world's longest metro network; almost every fair venue (SNIEC, NECC) has its own station. The Maglev train connects Pudong Airport to the city in 8 minutes.
In mainland China, Google, Gmail, WhatsApp and Instagram aren't accessible without a VPN arranged before you travel (it can't be installed once you've arrived). Hong Kong doesn't have this restriction.
