- There are three options to travel to the center of Beijing from the Beijing Capital airport.
The simplest is the taxi. always have you destination name and address in writing in Chinese as the driver will not understand English. A taxi to the center if the city is about ¥100 plus toll if any. There is no tipping in China.
A popular alternative is to take the Airport Express to then transfer to the subway. As long as you do not have a ton of luggage and are not traveling during peak hours, this is a good alternative. Cost is ¥25 for the train plus the cost of the subway tickets. Here is a good subway map: explorebj.com/subway/ On the airport website you can find up to date details about operating hours: en.bcia.com.cn/traffic/express...
The final choice is the shuttle buses. There are many bus lines covering a good part of the city. This is our preferred transportation but you need to know which bus is closest to your destination and where to get off. On this website you can find the list of buses, their stops and operating hours: en.bcia.com.cn/traffic/airbus/...

Heading to Beijing this week, this is suoer helpful!
This is indeed a very helpful Video! Thank you very much!! I also did a video WHERE TO GO and what to do when you arrive on Beijing Capital International Airport. I am a German guy living and Working in Harbin China for more than 5 years. Keep up the good work, very interesting!! 🌹👍
wow.... more than everything you need ! Thank you very much !
Nice video,
Hope you can post Chonqing to Wuling Moutain Forest guide video
Thank you so much!
thank you!
Also you need to download the DiDi app (Chinese version of uber)
I once gave a lady a tip at a small cafe in Guangzhou and walked away, when she noticed the tip she ran frantically after me! She tried a few times to return but I refused to accept it hahaha
This make life a lot easier... I don't need to panic when I arrived at Beijing air port. However you need to make another video for Beijing new air port.
Yes, we plan to do it once it has been running for a couple of months.
Do you know how to get changsa city from changsa huang hua internasional airport?
May I know is there any taxi at 12 am in the morning?
I arrive in Beijing at 3pm but need to take the bullet train at 6 in beijing south station. What do you recommend? Would there be too much traffic at that time for taxi?
Should be ok. You should not need more than one hour even with traffic.
Thanks for this informations. We'll be back in Bejing next 1th september after 10 years :)
Maybe in 10 years a lot of things are different :)
Bye
Old sites remain the same but the subway is substantially more extensive.
I was about to go this year until the virus stopped me from going :(
@@on_transit 😔☹️
Since we have a few large luggages , so train is not easy, how much would it be for Taxi to Beijing city? Any other recommendation are appreciated.
Beijing is huge so it depends where in Beijing. As a rough estimate, let's say 100RMB. You pay whatever the meter says plus toll. No tipping.
@@ChinaDIYTravel From Los Angeles flight, it is always Terminal 3 which you have to take an airport train to? I am interested in Taxi but I am not sure it can take 4 big luggages plus carry-on and 3 of us.
@@jamescc2010 The taxis are no large. I doubt that you can fill all these luggage in one taxi. You can ask for a minivan (more expensive). For arrival to at T3, watch our other video: czcams.com/video/NvCNDlhUvZA/video.html
@@ChinaDIYTravel So minivan taxi are always available there? I think the cost is like 350-400 RMB. Thanks
@@jamescc2010 Usually yes.
If i want to go to Great Wall for 2 person, better i choose taxi-train-or bus?
It is better to take a taxi or a pre-arranged driver as it would take too long via public transportation from the airport.
@@ChinaDIYTravel i just have 6 hours for transit in beijing, is it enough to visit great wall just to take pict?
Not really. If you do not have a video, they will not let you leave the airport.@@litafauziyyah
Can the transportation car be used in Shanghai and refunded at Shanghai Airport as well??.... im arriving att Beijing but departing at Shanghai
No, these are 2 different companies.
I think you can use the same card in the two cities, but not sure if you can refund at Shanghai. Ask the locals who can speak English
When traveling with a family (and the luggage that goes with them), it is clear the shuttle buses make the most sense.
