Beijing
Beijing Capital Airport
Take the Capital Airport Express into the subway network, choose a city-bound coach if its stop suits your hotel, or use the official taxi rank for a direct ride. Check your arrival terminal before planning the pickup.
PEK
Beijing
Beijing Daxing Airport
Use the Daxing Airport Express for Caoqiao and an onward subway connection, or choose an airport coach or direct car for your hotel. Daxing and Capital Airport have different rail lines and pickup instructions.
PKX
Changsha
Changsha Huanghua Airport
For Wuyi Square, compare Metro Line 6 with a connection to Line 2, or the Maglev via Changsha South. A taxi is simpler with bags. Confirm your terminal as T3 preparations continue in late 2026.
CSX
Chengdu
Chengdu Shuangliu Airport
Use Metro Line 10 for Wuhou Temple and onward city connections, or take a taxi to your hotel. After dark, Shuangliu’s Night Route 1 offers a low-cost connection to Chunxi Road.
CTU
Chengdu
Chengdu Tianfu Airport
Tianfu’s Metro Line 18 links the airport with Chengdu South Railway Station, while airport buses serve named city destinations. Choose the service that leaves the easiest final trip to your hotel.
TFU
Chongqing
Chongqing Jiangbei Airport
Take Rail Line 10 from T3, the K01 bus to Jiefangbei, or a taxi to your hotel. Flights now use T3; passengers arriving through the T3B satellite continue to the public arrivals area in T3A.
CKG
Guangzhou
Guangzhou Baiyun Airport
Your terminal matters at Baiyun. Terminal 2 has a direct Metro Line 3 connection; Terminal 3 uses a shuttle to Gaozeng for the metro. A taxi avoids the change when you have several bags.
CAN
Guilin
Guilin Liangjiang Airport
The airport bus now serves central Guilin and selected sightseeing stops directly. Choose it when a stop suits your hotel, or take a taxi for a direct arrival with luggage.
KWL
Hangzhou
Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport
Three metro lines serve Xiaoshan Airport. Match the line to your part of Hangzhou, then compare the station walk with a taxi directly to your hotel.
HGH
Harbin
Harbin Taiping Airport
Compare an airport bus with a direct taxi or prebooked car for central Harbin. Choose your stop for the hotel’s actual district, and allow extra time for the final walk when winter weather makes luggage harder to manage.
HRB
Kunming
Kunming Changshui Airport
Metro Line 6 runs from the airport to Tangzixiang, with connections into the wider Kunming network. A metered taxi is simpler when your hotel is away from a station or you arrive after rail finishes.
KMG
Nanjing
Nanjing Lukou Airport
Take the airport metro toward Nanjing South, then choose the onward line for your hotel. For a direct arrival with luggage or after useful rail services finish, use a taxi or an arranged car.
NKG
Qingdao
Qingdao Jiaodong Airport
Line 8 now runs directly between Jiaodong Airport and May Fourth Square. Compare that rail journey with a taxi or prebooked car, then check whether your hotel is by the modern waterfront or farther across the city.
TAO
Sanya
Sanya Phoenix Airport
Start with your beach area. An airport bus can work for a served Sanya Bay, downtown or Dadonghai stop; a taxi or booked car is easier for a specific resort entrance and a family’s luggage.
SYX
Shanghai
Shanghai Hongqiao Airport
Start with your arrival terminal: Line 10 serves T1 and T2, while Line 2 serves T2. Choose rail for a station-side hotel, a taxi for the door, or check the night bus after a late flight.
SHA
Shanghai
Shanghai Pudong Airport
Take Line 2 for a low-cost journey into Shanghai, or choose a taxi for a direct ride to your hotel. Your arrival time, luggage and hotel address will decide which works best.
PVG
Shenzhen
Shenzhen Bao’an Airport
Line 11 is the useful rail route for Nanshan and Futian. For Luohu, an overnight arrival or a hotel far from a station, compare the airport bus and taxi options before leaving the terminal.
SZX
Xi'an
Xi’an Xianyang Airport
Use Metro Line 14 with an onward connection for central Xi’an, or choose an airport coach or taxi for the Bell Tower area. The newer T5 and the T2/T3 group have different rail entrances and road pickup points.
XIY
Xiamen
Xiamen Gaoqi Airport
For Gaoqi Airport, compare the airport bus with a direct taxi to your island hotel. T4 also has BRT connections. Check your airport name carefully: a move to Xiang’an Airport is planned for the end of 2026.
XMN
Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport
Decide whether your hotel is in Zhangjiajie city or near Wulingyuan before choosing a transfer. Bus 4 serves the city corridor; a taxi or arranged car can take you directly to the correct hotel.
