Don’t take a taxi unless you have money to burn. Read the reviews of the place and either take a direct bus, many reviews tell you where and how much, or try the metro, which is new, line 17 from Hongqiao. Don’t know where you will end up but the direct bus drops you at the terminal, which is a five minute walk from the old town, there are signs for directions.
