A very short transfer
- Jinjiang airport sits inside the Quanzhou and Jinjiang conurbation. Downtown Quanzhou is as little as ten minutes away on the expressway.
- That is unusual for a Chinese airport and it changes the arithmetic: a taxi is cheap enough that the buses are a saving rather than a necessity.
The free bus
- A shuttle to Shishi is free. It leaves the airport at 06:10, 07:50, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 17:30 and 21:00.
- Shishi is the textile town east of the airport, and the service exists because of the trade rather than for tourists. Anyone can use it.
The city buses
- K901 is the useful one: Quanzhou railway station to the airport and on to Shishi. It runs 06:30 to 19:10 from the station, every 15 to 30 minutes, on a sectional fare of 1 to 7.5 yuan, passing Heping Road, East Beiqing Road and Shiquan Road.
- K604 runs between the city bus station and SM City by way of the airport, 06:00 to 22:05, every 8 to 15 minutes, 1 to 3 yuan. It is the most frequent thing that stops here.
- Jinjiang local routes 21, 23, 28 and 30 also call at the airport.
Coaches and the airport bus station
- The airport plaza has its own bus station, with routes into downtown Quanzhou, to Jinjiang railway station and to other cities in Fujian.
- The Putian coach costs 34 yuan and runs roughly hourly from 07:30 to 18:15.
Taxis
- Quanzhou railway station is 40 to 50 yuan.
- Most journeys around the city fall between 30 and 60 yuan.
- Given the distances, a taxi here is a reasonable default in a way it is not at most Chinese airports.
