🌆 Long layover in Shanghai — turn the wait into a day in the city

The outbound stop in Shanghai (PVG) is 17 hours 5 minutes — long enough to leave the airport and step into the city instead of pacing the terminal. China’s 144-hour transit visa-free policy covers most EU and US passports as long as you arrive on an international flight, leave on an international flight to a different country, and stay within Shanghai or the wider Yangtze River Delta region.

Best use of the time, in order:

Shanghai Maglev from PVG to Longyang Road — 7 min at 300 km/h (or 430 km/h on certain afternoon services). ¥50 single, ¥40 with a same-day boarding pass.
The Bund + Pudong skyline at sunset — 20 min by metro from Longyang Road. Free, postcard-iconic.
Real Shanghainese food — Jia Jia Tang Bao or Din Tai Fung for xiaolongbao, Yang’s Fry Dumplings for shengjianbao.
Yu Garden + Old City if it’s daytime, Xintiandi or French Concession if evening.

Allow 90 minutes each way for PVG immigration + Maglev/metro. With a 17-hour layover that still leaves ~12 hours in the city. The return-leg layover (7h 25m) is tight — better to stay airside or use the airport transit area.

🌍 About Auckland

Auckland is the largest Polynesian city in the world, and the most rewarding eating reflects that: skip the harbourside chains and go to the weekend markets in South Auckland (Ōtara) for a Pacific plate — sapasui (Samoan chop suey) or raw fish in coconut cream. The city sits on a field of around 50 volcanic cones. The best one isn't in the city at all: Rangitoto, a symmetrical cone that erupted from the sea only ~600 years ago, is a 25-minute ferry from downtown and a scrambly hike over black lava. Waiheke Island, 40 minutes by ferry, is the wine day-trip. Come December–February for swimming weather, but that's peak season and priciest; March–April keeps the warmth and drops the crowds. June–August is wet and grey.
