When we were on the Diamond complimentary shuttles were offered at both ports.

In Hong Kong we were taken to a department store in Kowloon, about 10 minutes walk from the Star Ferry terminal.

In Shanghai we were taken to the Silk Museum aka retail outlet.

The Ocean Princess docked in downtown in both ports. In HK we were right next to the Star Ferry in Kowloon. In Shanghai, we were along the Bund, across from the Pudong and a half mile or so from Nanking Road. No need for a shuttle in either port.

We are on the Diamond.

OK. You had not indicated which you were on so I figured give you the second option

Is there anything worth doing near the silk store?

Probably location. I don't remember where the Silk museum is.

Not much! and from memory (it was 18 months ago that we were there)it's a fair walk from there into The Bund etc. I couldn't understand why they dropped us there at all. Just a "buying opportunity".

We spent no time there at all, it's basically a shopping venue with street touts selling "Rolex" watches 3 for $10.

We simply used the location to meet a private guide with whom we had pre-arranged a city tour. She dropped us off there at the end of the tour to meet the shuttle bus.

As far as I remember we were sailing quite late so we took a taxi back to the Bund and spent a pleasant hour or so there.

...if you are unable to walk, taxi's are cheap and drivers are honest in Shanghai. Just make sure that you have the location you want to visit written in Chinese on a piece of paper...as most drivers do not speak english. We still remember the genuine smiles from the drivers after we insisted they keep the change. :)

Shanghai also has an excellent Metro system
