Perhaps the commonest way to reach the area is to fly to Shanghai. There are two airports. Pudong is a major international airport with connections all over the world; Hong Qiao handles mainly domestic flights. Busses connect the two, taking about an hour. There are also direct busses from Pudong airport to major cities in the region; see city articles for details.
Recently, subway line 2 (the main East-West line through downtown) has been extended; it now goes to both airports and to the new Hong Qiao train station right next to Hong Qiao airport, which has high-speed trains to many places in the region and beyond.
Other cities in the region, such as Hangzhou and Nanjing also have international airports. Air Asia's ] flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hangzhou provides a low-cost route to or from Southeast Asia.
The area is also well connected via China's road and rail networks, and there is a Suzhou-Japan ferry.
