Which transfer suits you?
Comparison point: Longxiangqiao for a central-city comparison. Longxiangqiao, Wushan Square and the stations served by Line 19 are different destinations. The right route depends on your hotel address; a train’s operating window does not include airport formalities, station transfers or the final walk.

02 / The details
Your transfer options
01 / A direct rail route to Longxiangqiao
Metro Line 1
Line 1 serves both the airport and Longxiangqiao. It is a useful starting point when avoiding a change matters more to you than comparing every possible rail connection.
Longxiangqiao · 龙翔桥
- Follow Metro / 地铁 signs to Xiaoshan International Airport station.
- Select Line 1 toward Xianghu / 湘湖 and a ticket to Longxiangqiao or your hotel’s nearest station.
- Check the correct exit and the remaining walk before leaving the metro.
When it runs: The airport lists departures toward Xianghu from 06:00 to 22:30. Confirm the current service on arrival; entry gates close before the final train.
The airport station remains open later for other services. Its closing time is not the last Line 1 departure into Hangzhou.

02 / A hotel near Wushan Square
Metro Line 7
Line 7 gives you a different city approach from Line 1. Choose it when Wushan Square is convenient for your accommodation rather than treating all central Hangzhou stops as the same place.
Wushan Square · 吴山广场
- At the airport metro station, find Line 7 and check the direction.
- Board toward Wushan Square / 吴山广场, not Jiangdong’er Road.
- Compare the walk or short onward ride from the station with your hotel’s arrival instructions.
When it runs: The airport lists Wushan Square-bound departures from 06:16 to 22:49. The opposite direction has different times.
A late train running away from the city does not help you reach Wushan Square. Read the direction as well as the departure time.
Sources: Metro lines and departures
03 / A route selected around an onward rail connection
Metro Line 19 + connection
Line 19 is the third metro service at the airport. Use the current network planner to see whether its stops and connections fit your hotel better than a direct Line 1 or Line 7 trip.
Your selected Line 19 stop or onward metro connection
- Plan the full journey on the station network map before choosing Line 19.
- Board in the Tiaoxi / 苕溪 direction for the city-side journey.
- Follow the signs for the specific station or connection on your route and allow walking time with bags.
When it runs: The airport lists Tiaoxi-bound departures from 06:03 to 23:14. Confirm that any onward line you need will still be running.
The final Line 19 train may be later than the last useful connection to your hotel. Check both legs before entering.

04 / A direct hotel arrival with luggage
Metered taxi
The airport publishes separate taxi ranks for T3 and T4. A direct car can be simpler when your hotel is away from a metro station or you have several passengers and bags.
Your Hangzhou hotel entrance
- At T3, follow Taxi signs to the rank outside arrivals Gate 14.
- At T4, follow signs to the taxi area at the F1 link between the terminal and Ground Transport Center.
- Show the Chinese hotel address, confirm payment and retain the metered receipt.
When it runs: After collecting bags, check the signed taxi queue and ask airport staff about the current wait.
Use the designated queue. A booked car or ride-hail pickup can be in a different part of the transport center.
Sources: Taxi pickup areas
05 / A confirmed meeting point and vehicle size
Prebooked private car
Arrange a car with your hotel or chosen provider if you need a specific vehicle, help with luggage or a child seat. Tell the provider whether your flight uses T3 or T4 and ask how to reach the meeting point with your bags.
The exact hotel address on your confirmation
- Send the full Chinese address of your Hangzhou hotel, passenger count and luggage details.
- Get the meeting point, driver contact and included waiting time in writing.
- Check whether parking, tolls, child seats and late-night charges are included.
When it runs: Confirm the actual landing time, flight number and delay policy with the provider before paying.
The pickup location is set by your booking. There is no verified private-car price or live availability on this page.
03 / After baggage claim
Find your pickup point
For the metro, choose the line before the gate
Lines 1, 7 and 19 all serve the airport. Decide on the destination and direction first; the latest departure shown for the station may be on a different line from the one you need.
Sources: Metro lines and departures
T3 and T4 taxi ranks differ
The airport places T3 taxis outside arrivals Gate 14 and T4 taxis at the F1 link with the Ground Transport Center. Follow the signed passenger queue and staff directions.
Sources: Taxi pickup areas
For a coach, use the ticket hall
The airport coach station is on the northwest side of Ground Transport Center level 1F. It serves multiple destinations around Zhejiang; confirm your city and stop before buying. Passport users are directed to the staffed ticket counter.

04 / Arriving late
Plan your late-night arrival
Read the direction, not the station closing time
The airport metro page lists different final departures for each direction. A station closure after midnight does not mean a train toward your Hangzhou hotel is still available.
Sources: Metro lines and departures
Keep a road option ready
Once the useful trains have finished, ask airport staff about the taxi queue or a confirmed car pickup. Do not rely on an unspecified coach running to your hotel through the night.
Sources: Taxi pickup areas
Tell the hotel about a delayed flight
Save the property’s telephone number and arrival instructions. If a driver is booked, confirm how the included waiting time changes when your flight is delayed.
05 / Ready to go
Tickets, payment and your address
Buy for your final station
Use the metro ticket machine or staffed service point to confirm the fare for your full route. Have a renminbi backup if your preferred phone or card payment is not accepted.
Use the counter for passport coach tickets
The airport says coach tickets require a valid identity document and directs passengers using passports to its staffed ticket counters. Confirm the destination before paying.
Sources: Coach station and ticketing
Confirm the car price basis
A metered taxi and a privately quoted transfer are different purchases. For a booked vehicle, confirm whether parking, tolls, waiting and any late pickup charge are included.
06 / Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Which metro lines serve Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport?
The airport lists Lines 1, 7 and 19. Line 1 serves Longxiangqiao, Line 7 runs toward Wushan Square, and Line 19 provides another city-side route with onward connections. Choose based on your hotel address.
Does the airport metro run into central Hangzhou after midnight?
Do not infer this from the station closing time. The airport publishes earlier final city-bound departures: 22:30 on Line 1, 22:49 on Line 7 toward Wushan Square and 23:14 on Line 19 toward Tiaoxi. Reconfirm the current schedule and any onward connection.
Where do I get a taxi at Hangzhou Airport?
The official airport guide places T3 taxis outside arrivals Gate 14. T4’s taxi area is at the F1 link between the terminal and the Ground Transport Center. Follow the current signs and the staffed queue.
Can I buy an airport coach ticket using a passport?
Yes. The airport’s coach guidance lists passports as valid identity documents and directs passport holders to staffed ticket counters. Check that the coach goes to your intended Hangzhou stop rather than another Zhejiang destination.
