Can any body help me out telling me how to travel from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Yiwu what is the best easy and cheap way to travel between these two city is any direct train or bus service Thanks

What time are you arriving at Pudong airport?
How many of you are there and how much luggage do you have?
Do you understand any Chinese?

I will be arriving at 14.00 hour only one person with very little luggage and dont know any word chines

Last time when i visited Yiwu, i took a train from Shanghai.The train took about4.5hrs one way. Train is the cheapest mode of travel.

If you don't mind waiting, there's a direct bus from Pudong airport to Yiwu at 1650, fare 180 RMB. It takes about 4.5 hours to reach Yiwu.
Otherwise, you'll have to take airport shuttle no.7 (20 RMB/pax, journey time about 1-1.5 hours) or a taxi (around 150-180 RMB depending on traffic conditions) to Shanghai South train/long-distance bus station, in order to catch a train/bus to Yiwu.
There's a fast train D109/D112 leaving from Shanghai South train station at 1545 that takes exactly 2 hours to reach Yiwu, but I doubt you'll make it in time unless you take a taxi instead of the airport shuttle, AND have someone buy the ticket for you in advance. The train costs 97/116 RMB for 2nd/1st-class seats. Other trains do depart later, but they take longer to reach Yiwu, usually around 4 hours or so.
Otherwise, there're buses leaving from Shanghai South long-distance bus station (just south of the South train station) at 1605, 1645, 1825 and 1935. These cost 97 RMB and take about 3.5 hours to reach Yiwu.
That's a pretty comprehensive answer already. If you've any more queries, email me at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "VirtualTourist" and your own username (eg ouden) in the subject line, thanks.
