- Grand Stand 2 Ticket — Access to all courts except Center Court. A strong pick for catching early-round action across multiple courts.

Heads-up: The upper level of Grand Stand 2 is likely to also be opened to Ground Pass holders, but this hasn't been officially confirmed by the organizers yet — check closer to the tournament.

🚕 Getting to the Venue: Qizhong Forest Sports City Tennis Center
The tournament is held at 旗忠森林网球中心 (Qizhong Forest Tennis Center) in Minhang District — a bit outside central Shanghai, so plan your ride.
Option 1: Taxi (Easiest)
Shanghai taxis are among the cheapest in any major world city.
- Starting fare: 14–16 CNY (≈ 2.10–2.50 USD)
- Per additional km: ≈ 3 CNY (≈ 0.45 USD)
- Night surcharge (after 11 PM): +30%
Heading to the venue: If you're using a ride-hailing app (网约车 / DiDi), just search 旗忠森林网球中心.
Venue address: 5500 Yuanjiang Road, Minhang District, Shanghai, China.
Leaving the venue: There's usually a healthy queue of taxis waiting right outside the main gate after matches — just walk out and grab one.
Option 2: Organizer Shuttle Coach + Metro
The tournament runs official shuttle coaches that connect the venue to:
- Zhuanqiao Metro Station (颛桥站) — Line 5
- Xinzhuang Metro Station (莘庄站) — Lines 1 & 5
From either station, you're plugged straight into Shanghai's metro network back to the city center. Ideal if you're on a budget or want to avoid post-match traffic.
Quick Tips for Overseas Fans
- Bring your passport — it's required for entry with a purchased ticket.
- Arrive early on final weekend days; security lines can build up.
- Cashless is king — set up Alipay or WeChat Pay Tourist Card before you fly in.
