Getting from Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport to the city

Three railways under one roof

• Guiyang put both a metro station and a high speed railway station at the airport, which is rare even in China.
• Metro line 2 stops at Longdongbao International Airport station. It reaches downtown in about 20 minutes for around 5 yuan.
• Longdongbao railway station is underground, directly beneath the airport, and is a walk rather than a transfer.
• From that station, Guiyang North is about 20 minutes, at 4 yuan for a second class seat and 7 for first. Guiyang North is the high speed station for the rest of the country.
• Line 1 of the metro also reaches Guiyang North, in about 30 minutes for 5 yuan, if you would rather stay underground.
