=== Transport Information ===
This map shows you the relative positions of the Intel campus, recommended hotels and key sights within Shanghai.
==== Buses from hotels to the Intel Campus ====
We will be organising a bus service from the recommended hotels (see above) to the Intel site in the morning and the evening. Exact pick-up and return times will be published later.
==== Other ways to get to the Intel Campus ====
Taxi's in Shanghai are relatively cheap. You are looking at a cost of around $20-$25 for a 1-1.5 hour taxi ride of about 30-35 km's. There is no easy way to get to the Intel site by public transport. Should you chose to use a taxi or chose to stay in a different hotel to those recommended, please make sure you organise the taxi with the concierge at your hotel. Printing out a map of the Intel site's location and the address in Chinese as well as your hotel address also helps.
Reference distances to the Intel site:
* The Bund : 38 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
* Pudong : 40 km's - approximately 1.5 hours
* Recommended hotels in Hongqiao : 27 km's - approximately 1 hour
==== Getting from the airport to the Hotels and vice versa ====
To get from the airport to one of the recommended hotels, you can take a taxi. It is about a 50 km drive and will take 1-1.5 hours depending on the day of time. It will cost around $25-$30. Make sure to go to the airport's taxi stand and do *not* use one of the offers for a taxi when you come out of the gate. These are normally limousine services which will cost you several times more than a regular taxi. You should also print out the name and a map of the hotel, just in case.
Alternatively, you can use public transport: see the following map
