Through the improvement of road network and public transportation, the external transportation function of Hongqiao hub will be better brought into play, and the external travel time of the region will be further shortened, forming a “3×15” traffic circle, i.e. regional traffic circle within 15 minutes, urban traffic circle within 30 minutes and intercity traffic circle within 45 minutes.

In particular, starting from East Hongqiao, you can take a car or regional bus to Hongqiao hub and central business district in 15 minutes;

By car and urban rail transit, you can reach People’s Square, Shanghai Railway Station and Shanghai South Railway Station in 30 minutes. The same applies to Qingpu, Jiading, Songjiang New City, etc;

About 76,600 workers shuttled between Shanghai and the neighboring Yangtze River Delta cities every day in 2021, 4,000 more than in 2020, mainly through the Hongqiao International Open Hub.

The international hub, covering 151 square kilometers, will become an international central business district, a new trading center platform and a comprehensive transport hub, according to China’s State Council, or the Cabinet.

The Hongqiao area is striving to become a key international transport hub to closely connect the Yangtze River Delta region with the rest of the world.

Using Hongqiao airport as the core, multiple interprovincial railways and subways are being developed to make the region a comprehensive and convenient transport gateway.
