The China Space Station Telescope (CSST) is a forthcoming Stage IV galaxy survey. It will simultaneously undertake the photometric redshift (photo-z) and slitless spectroscopic redshift (spec-z) surveys mainly for weak lensing and galaxy clustering studies. The two surveys cover the same sky area and overlap on the redshift range. Due to the sparse number density of the spec-z sample at $z>1$, it limits the constraints on the scale of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO). By cross-correlating the spec-z sample with the high-density photo-z sample, we can effectively enhance the constraints on the angular diameter distances from BAO. We estimate a greater than 35 per cent improvement utilising the Fisher matrix formalism. Such improvement is robust against different systematic effects including the systematic noise and the redshift success rate of the spec-z survey, as well as the photo-z error. Our study can be a reference for future BAO analysis on real CSST data. The methodology can be applied to other surveys with spec-z and photo-z data in the same survey volume.
