Hangzhou Metro Lines 1 and 4 stop directly beneath the station concourse — follow the 高铁 / High-speed Rail signs and you reach the departure hall in a few minutes. Lines 6 and 19 use the East Square station instead: if you need them, allow about 7 minutes to walk through the arrival hall.
Signs in the arrival hall point the way to both metro stations.

Take Metro Line 1 from the Hangzhou East metro station to Longxiangqiao — 6 stops, about 20 minutes — then walk about 5 minutes to the lakefront promenade. It is the fastest and cheapest way into the city centre.
Go early in the morning (before 9:00) to see the lake before the tour groups arrive; the water is calmest at sunrise.
Metro Line 19 reaches Xiaoshan airport (HGH) in about 40 minutes. Board it at the East Square metro station, which serves Lines 6 and 19 and sits about 7 minutes' walk from the Lines 1 and 4 platforms through the arrival hall; a transfer within 30 minutes counts as a single journey.
A taxi or Didi takes about 30–40 minutes and costs roughly ¥70–100 depending on traffic.
