Remarks

  1. You may change money at the banks or money exchange at the airport beforehand since you need Chinese money (CNY, or sometimes called RMB) to pay for the means of transportation.
  2. There will be quite some walk with up and downs especially at the subway station for transfers if you choose to go to CNCC by either airport shuttle, airport express or subway. Our previous conference delegates complained a lot about the inconveniences caused by taking airport express and subway, so it is preferred that you go to CNCC by taxi.

How to get to your hotel from the airport or the train station:

You may also take the Airport Express & subway, a taxi or the Airport Shuttle to go to your hotels which are all located in the same area as the CNCC. As explained above, the most convenient way is by taxi. Please refer to the link for the hotel list and the sketch map of hotel locations. The hotel names are in both Chinese and English. Make a copy and show it to the taxi driver.
