When you say "a day's work", do you mean working remotely by laptop over the internet? Are there any specific online services that you require that might be blocked in China?
Have you researched the transportation from the airport to the city?
Yes, I meant working by laptop over the Internet. I could arrange to have some offline work to do, but I'd want to VPN to my company's network. I don't need access to Facebook, and I can't think of any other services that would be blocked. I can check with my company's IT services to confirm this.
For transport into the city, the airport bus looks like a possibility, and probably Line 2 if I want to see any sights.

Not sure what would be best if I took the metro, but I am pretty sure I'm not up to standing for the trip after that exhausting journey.
