The railway station beside the terminal
- Hedong Airport railway station is on the west side of the airport terminal, and it opened on 29 December 2019.
- It is on the Yinchuan to Lanzhou high speed railway, so it links the airport into the national network rather than just into Yinchuan.
- Not every guide has caught up. Some still describe reaching a train as a 90 minute journey by coach and city bus; that is the old answer.
The three coach lines
- Line 2 is the main one: airport to the Yuehai Xintiandi city terminal, 20 yuan, 45 to 50 minutes. From the airport it runs 06:00 to 20:00, and from the terminal 09:30 to 21:00.
- Line 1: airport to the Xigang Aviation Hotel on Shengli North Street near South Gate Square, 20 yuan, about 30 to 35 minutes. First departures at 06:10 and 06:30, then half hourly from 08:30 to 21:30. Coming back it runs to meet flights.
- Line 3: airport to Youyue City, at the Misuo hotel in Jinfeng district, by way of Yinchuan south bus station, 20 yuan, about 50 minutes.
- All three cost 20 yuan, and a line 2 extension runs on to Yinchuan railway station at the same fare.
Finishing the journey
- From the Yuehai Xintiandi terminal, city bus 45 runs to the railway station.
- From the aviation hotel, bus 37 runs towards the tourist sites.
- Between the coach and one city bus the whole city is covered for about 21 yuan.
Taxis
- The meter starts at 9 yuan for the first 3 km, then 1.5 yuan per kilometre, or 1.7 in electric cars and those of 1.6 litres and over. Beyond 10 km a 50 per cent empty return charge is added, and 20 per cent more from 23:00 to 06:00.
