Shanghai Hongqiao Airport: choose the terminal first

Your terminal determines the metro lines and whether the airport rail link is an option.

Shanghai Airport says Hongqiao Terminal 1 is served by Metro Line 10, while Terminal 2 is served by Metro Lines 2 and 10. The Airport Link Line also uses Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2: its airport entrance is near Gates 11 and 12 on the departure floor and on B1 near Metro Lines 2 and 10. Confirm your terminal first, then use the current operator information for the day’s route, service and access details.

A clear next step

  1. Confirm whether your arrival is at Hongqiao Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
  2. For Terminal 1, start with Metro Line 10; for Terminal 2, compare Metro Lines 2 and 10 with your onward destination.
  3. If you are transferring to Pudong, check the live Airport Link Line information; its Hongqiao station is at Terminal 2, not Terminal 1.
  4. Use Shanghai Airport or SH MaaS Hub Connect for current routing and on-site transport information.
