Bus line “Airport 5” departs from the main train station in the city and provides transportation to the airport.

For taxi rides that are over 10 km the taximeter charges 3.6 Chinese yuan per kilometer.

Following this road will connect you directly to the airport. The airport contains a parking lot with a capacity of 4,500 vehicles. Parking is free for the first 20 minutes.
