Route info

What to know about the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport → Yu Yuan Garden route

Tolls, traffic windows and drop-off logistics that apply to this specific route.

Road taken on this transfer

The transfer uses the Yan'an Elevated Road, which begins near the airport and runs along Yan'an Road toward the Bund side. The elevated section carries much of the trip above street-level traffic.

Tolls and zone fees included

All local tolls, road charges and low-emission zone fees on this route are included in the fixed price. You pay nothing extra on arrival at Yu Yuan Garden.

Peak traffic and garden drop-off

Weekday morning and evening peaks slow traffic near the Old City, so the final stretch can take longer. Expect a drop-off near Fuyou Road or Anren Street by the City God Temple, followed by a short walk.

Transfer from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Yu Yuan Garden

The route leaves Hongqiao International Airport via Yingbin No. 1 Road and joins the Yan'an Elevated Road near its start, running along Yan'an Road. From the elevated deck you see the mid-rise blocks, office towers and shopfronts of central Shanghai pass below before the road descends toward the Huangpu district near the Bund side.

Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign. Allow 30 to 40 minutes by car, with more during weekday morning and evening peaks. Yu Yuan Garden sits in the Old City, where direct vehicle entry is restricted, so expect a drop-off near Fuyou Road or Anren Street by the City God Temple and a short walk to the entrance. Show the driver 豫园 (Yùyuán) to confirm the garden entrance before you set off.

A pre-booked private transfer suits this route better than the alternatives. Line 10 to Yuyuan Garden Station costs about ¥5 and takes 32 to 38 minutes, but carrying luggage on stairs and walking from the station add effort. The airport shuttle from T2 runs about every 30 minutes and takes 37 to 38 minutes, ending short of the garden. Street taxis cost roughly ¥60 to 80 by day and queue at busy hours, whereas a fixed price with tolls included removes the guesswork.

Book your transport from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Yu Yuan Garden

Want to know more about your journey from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Yu Yuan Garden ? We've compiled some of the most frequently asked questions by our customers to help you plan your journey.

Where does my driver meet me at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport?
Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign with your name. Hongqiao has two terminals, so the flight number you enter at booking tells the driver which terminal to use. Your flight is monitored in real time, so if it lands early, late or changes terminal, the driver adjusts at no extra cost. A free 60-minute wait applies at arrivals.
How long does the drive to Yu Yuan Garden take?
The road distance is about 20 km and the typical duration is 31 minutes by car, though most passengers should plan for 30 to 40 minutes. Traffic on the Yan'an Elevated Road and surface streets near the Old City can slow the final stretch, especially during weekday peaks. Heavy rain and accidents also add time, so allowing an extra 15 minutes is wise.
How much does the transfer cost and what is included?
The fixed price for the whole vehicle is EUR 90.9, and it already includes all local tolls, road charges and low-emission zone fees on the route. There are no surprise surcharges at the end of the trip. Free child seats are available on request, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
Where should the driver drop me at Yu Yuan Garden?
Drop-offs usually happen near Fuyou Road or Anren Street by the City God Temple, because the Old City restricts direct vehicle entry. Confirm the entrance with your driver and show the Chinese characters 豫园 (Yùyuán). Parking near the garden is very limited, so the driver normally stops at the nearest accessible point and you walk the last few minutes.
What vehicle options are available for this transfer?
Options range from standard saloon cars for up to three passengers to larger MPVs for groups or travellers with extra luggage. Choose your vehicle at booking based on passenger count and bag size. Free child seats are provided when you request them at the time of booking.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, you can cancel for free up to 24 hours before pickup. Flight delays and terminal changes are handled automatically because the driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts at no extra cost. For changes closer to pickup, contact Transfeero support directly through your booking.
