What do I need to get a moped license?

Just got an email from my school about license requirements about mopeds. Has anyone ever seen these actually enforced? it all seems like BS. It does explain why my speedometer doesn’t go past 25km/h more

Shanghai's moped rules are...flexible, let's say. That 25km/h limiter? Yeah, pretty standard. Getting the license itself is mostly paperwork at the relevant traffic bureau (交警队). Expect some tests, mostly practical. Whether they actually check is another story. Your mileage may vary.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
