First Visit to Pudong Kerry Parkside

without comments

Last Saturday, I visited Pudong Kerry Parkside for the first time. Pudong Kerry Parkside is right located at Huamu road station of metro line 7. The transportation here is very convenient.  If you take Maglev train or metro line 2, you can interchange to metro line 7 (direction to Huamu road station) at Longyang road station.  When arriving at the terminal station Huamu road, you can directly get out from the No. 5 exit of the station and reach the building through underpass.

A relative of my family is coming to visit Expo and asks me to help book a hotel. I have searched hotels online for an hour and can not find a suitable one, they are either too far from the expo garden, or too expensive to an ordinary people, or just full.
