SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Hong Kong to Shanghai. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
