At the moment, the cheapest way into town is to take CAAC’s airport shuttle bus. Tickets cost RMB 16 and the ride takes between 40 and 90 minutes, depending on traffic and origin/des-tination. The buses have much more luggage room than taxis. Look for a white bus stop sign at the pickup location (see below). The shuttles leave every 15-30 minutes from the arrivals level of all terminals. Call 6459 4375/6 for information (Chinese only).
