Chengdu First Day: Arrival point choices

Check the airport code on your flight: Tianfu (TFU) and Shuangliu (CTU) are different airports with different rail connections. Save the correct one with your hotel’s Chinese address.

What to do

  1. 1

    Confirm the airport and terminal with the airline before departure. Save 天府机场 for Tianfu or 双流机场 for Shuangliu.

  2. 2

    From Tianfu, check Line 18 and the onward route from South Railway Station rather than treating “city center” as a single stop.

  3. 3

    From Shuangliu, check Line 10 for your terminal; the airport also lists Line 19 access at Terminal 2 East. Choose by your hotel’s destination, not just the line number.

  4. 4

    Compare the complete rail journey with a taxi or confirmed hotel pickup. Include terminal walking, transfers and the final walk.
