    Shanghai Pudong International Airport is located approximately 30 kilometers east of downtown Shanghai, covering an area of about 37.8 square kilometers. As a major international aviation hub, it handles most of Shanghai's international flights, while Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, closer to downtown, primarily services domestic flights.
    In 2019, Pudong Airport reached a passenger throughput of 76.15 million, ranking eighth in the world, only behind Beijing Capital International Airport. The same year, its cargo and mail throughput reached 3.6242 million tons, ranking first in mainland China and third globally.
    The main areas of the airport include Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and their corresponding satellite terminals. This video mainly showcases Terminal 2.
    Terminal 2 consists of three levels:
    1st floor - Domestic baggage claim area, arrival lobby
    2nd floor - International arrivals and domestic departures area
    3rd floor - International and domestic check-in, security checks, and waiting area

      Yes, the queue is indeed quite long. However, in my experience, the speed of going through the ticket verification gate is pretty fast, so you don't have to wait for a long time. I remember that ticket checking usually begins 10-15 minutes before the train departs.😊

    • @PretendWalker
      @PretendWalker  Рік тому +7

      As a passenger, I believe that the introduction of ticket checking at train stations like Shanghai Hongqiao is a measure to prevent passengers from boarding the wrong trains. It also serves as a method to help passengers accurately and promptly find their respective trains in situations with high passenger flow and multiple train departures.

      @chinesepetants2767 Рік тому +2

      Cos huge station like Hongqiao have mutiple lines of train, so you need gates lead the people to their own train, other hand, a check-in is needed cos that can make sure nobody have wrong stuff like explosive ones on board the train.
