I went to Chongming Island in April with my husband's company for a weekend retreat. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you exactly how to get there but I do recall it took 45 minutes from Xuijiahui to the ferry. I Googled "getting to Chongming Island" and this link might help you with suggestions on what to do and how to get there:
