The metro station is located near both Terminal 2 of Hongqiao International Airport and the high-speed Shanghai Hongqiao railway station, the latter which opened on 1 July 2010.

This station is a "Virtual Interchange" station for passengers wishing to transfer between Line 10 Hongqiao Railway Station bound trains and Line 2 platform East Xujing bound trains. Passengers with a Shanghai Public Transport Card (SPTC) can make the interchange within 30 minutes at no additional charge, while all other passengers must pay an additional fare. A new platform allowing a direct, physical cross-platform interchange between Line 2 Pudong International Airport bound trains and Line 10 Xinjiangwancheng bound trains opened on 30 December 2017; the interchange is free for all passengers (a SPTC is not necessary).[3]
