You can get to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport within one hour and Pudong Int'l Airport within one and a half hour.
After you find your own apartment, the first thing you should do is to register at the police station that polices your neighborhood. This must be done within 24 hours (in some cases within 3 days is allowed as well). Please take your rental contract and passport. You can ask your buddy to go with you to the police station. After this procedure, you will get a ―Registra on Form for Temporary Residence‖, which is required if you want to extend your visa. You will be fined if you don’t register in time. This registration must be done after each entry to China. So if you travel to other countries during your stay here, you need to go to the police station and register again. Also, if you move to new apartments, new registration is needed as well.

Be the best choice to save money (but at the cost of time). The price and time vary among different types of trains. You should check that out carefully. If you have some plan to travel around China by train, please make sure that you buy the tickets on an early date. You can buy a train ticket only at 10 days at most before the date on the ticket. This is even more important if you want to travel during the May holiday, National holiday or the Spring Festival, because all the people in China will be traveling around, and it is very hard to get a ticket.
Shanghai Railway Station A useful number: (Shanghai Tickets Reservation Center) A useful website: http://www.shanghaihighlights.com/s hanghai-transportation/shanghairailway-station.html (Shanghai Railway Tickets Online Inquiry) When buying the ticket, pay attention to which railway station it is, since there are several different ones in Shanghai.
