⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official taxi queue; touts inside terminals may charge inflated fixed rates.
  • Insist on the meter (打表); long-distance surcharge and tolls are extra, so confirm tolls are on top.
  • Airport bus fare/frequency is not always online; buy tickets only at the official counter or mini-program, not from people on the kerb.
  • Ride-hailing pick-up is in designated car parks only; no DiDi pick-up at the arrivals kerb.
