Located in the middle point of China's coastline from north to south, Shanghai is not only the largest port city on the Chinese mainland.
Taxis in Shanghai are plentiful and market competition has driven taxi fare down to affordable prices for the average resident.
Shanghai has an extensive public transport system, largely based on buses, taxis, and a rapidly expanding metro system.
Shanghai has two commercial airports: Hongqiao International and Pudong International, the latter of which has the third highest traffic in China.
Two railways intersect in Shanghai: Jinghu Railway (Beijing–Shanghai) Railway passing through Nanjing, and Huhang Railway (Shanghai–Hangzhou).
