Chengdu First Day: Airport to hotel

For Tianfu, plan the Line 18 journey and the final connection to your hotel. For Shuangliu, check Line 10 or the Terminal 2 East connection to Line 19. A rail-segment time is not a door-to-door estimate.

What to do

  1. 1

    TFU: the published route uses Line 18 from Tianfu Airport T1/T2 to South Railway Station. Find the onward line, hotel station and final walk before choosing it.

  2. 2

    Check which service stops at your intended station. Use the current operator timetable and displayed fare, including any transfers.

  3. 3

    CTU: the airport lists Line 10 access at both terminals and Line 19 at Terminal 2 East. Follow the current terminal signs and choose the connection that fits your hotel.

  4. 4

    If the last connection cannot be made after bags and terminal walking, compare the official taxi queue or a hotel pickup arranged in advance.

  5. 5

    For taxis, show the full hotel address and confirm payment and the local fare basis before leaving. Check traffic and any extra charges for your actual trip.

Double-check before you rely on this

  • The exact arrival point and hotel branch are saved offline.

  • You have checked the last connection and the complete route to the hotel.

  • You have confirmed payment for an alternative if the first route is unavailable.
