I checked that too. Klook cost $44 including delivery and changirecommends $59 after discount. I hv been using the latter and it's easy to collect and return at airport. for Klook, I do not hv someone to be at home to collect and return.

Unless your data usage is high can get data roaming from your Telco. So long as it's not China sim card can already.

wifi router can connect to few devices. Battery will drained fast if using phone as wifi. So far my experience with changi recommends is good. Can contact them via whatspp when encounter problem when overseas. Wish they could lower the price though...

I hv tried Solis router service. They are not as responsive, took a few hrs to get back to me.

Currently I am using the DBS debit China UnionPay card. It comes with 5% rebate if total spending for the month is $400 or more. Also free ATM withdrawal. Only problem is that some of the merchant terminals cannot accept non-China issued unionpay card. For such cases, I would have to pay using cash or WeChat Pay.

There is no service fee for cash withdrawal using this card. If you use other ATM card, typically there is a $5 service fee

To obtain Shanghai Transportation Card at PGV airport, which is the nearest metro station to get and what is the direction signage to this counter?
Better to get Standard card or get 4 day tourist pass or either one can buy and can it be extended or better to get a specific type if i am there for 7 days?

Well, it all depends on how many metro/subway rides you will be taking in the 7 days, no? If you are doing day trips out of Shanghai, to say Hangzhou and Suzhou, etc, then you won't be taking the metro in Shanghai, what's the use of getting the 3 days pass? Is there a 4 days pass?

There is only one metro station at the Pudong Airport, just like there's only one mrt station at Changi Airport. There are ticket machines at the metro station. Just follow the signage at the airport. It's pretty idiot proof.
