If by public transport, you need to make transfers. First, take subway line 10 from airport to Hongtudi, then change to line 6 to Shangxin Street, then walk to the adjacent Yitianmen Bus Stop to take bus no.346 to your destination.

If go by taxi directly, it takes CNY60-80 based on the traffic condition. You can hire a taxi on the spot; just follow the direction boards to find the spot to get on.
