Trip.com Group launches free Shanghai airport layover tours

Thursday, 04 Apr, 2024 0

Trip.com is aiming to alleviate the boredom of a long airport layover with a free city tour of Shanghai.

It is rolling out the “Shanghai Express”, free layover city tours starting later this month.

The tours will showcase the top highlights of Shanghai before their next flight – all within a few hours.

Starting from 15 April 2024, international travellers stopping by the Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) for over eight hours will have the opportunity to join the airport layover city tours – the first of its kind in Shanghai.

The tours are available to international travellers who are eligible for China’s 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy, and those holding a 24-hour temporary entry permit.

“Trip.com Group is excited to unveil this innovative programme for those with just a short stopover,” said Han Feng, Head of Marketing at Trip.com.

“We will leverage our extensive resources to ensure a memorable tour.”

After passing customs travellers should head to the Trip.com Group currency exchange counter in the Departure Hall of Terminal 2 for in-person registration.

Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Travellers will be able to choose from several tour timings. Each free tour accommodates a maximum of ten travellers and lasts five to six hours.

Current itineraries include:

Shanghai Highlights City Tour (9:00-14:00): a tour of classic Shanghai highlights, including traditional Chinese architecture in the Yu Garden and viewing Shanghai’s futuristic skyline at the Bund.

Strolling Under the Trees Citywalk Tour (16:00-22:00): a tour for romantics and urban history lovers, which includes a city walk through the old villas and cafes along Wukang Road, a visit to Yu Garden, and a stroll on the Bund.

Huangpu River Cruise Sightseeing Night Tour (18:00-23:00): Enjoying a night view of the Bund aboard the Huangpu River Cruise and a visit to Yu Garden at night.

The tours are led by English-speaking guides, and each tour includes transport, tickets, e-sim cards and insurance.

Travellers can store their luggage at the airport or on the shuttle bus if space permits.
