How to Transfer between Chongqing Airport and City 2025

Chongqing's mountainous terrain and intricate transportation networks pose challenges for first-time visitors. For those seeking to get from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport to the downtown area, traveling with a private vehicle is the most comfortable and efficient way (30 mins - 40 mins' drive). Travelers will be worry-free about carrying luggage around to take public transportation, make several transfers, and probably wait for a long time.

Ciqikou Ancient Town, though not in the downtown area, is a must-go place, and it takes 40 mins by taxi (33 km away) to get here from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport.

Taking the rail transit is the cheapest way and can save you from traffic jams while it takes twice as long as a car and also entails hundreds or a thousand meters of walking or using other transport. Rail Transit Line 10 (running from 6:35 to 23:20) will stop both at Terminal 2 and at Terminal 3. By taking one headed towards Lanhualu Station (兰花路), travelers can easily access most other tourist attractions with only one transfer.
