It's not difficult to hire a taxi at midnight in Beijing airport. Follow the direction boards to find the taxi pick-up point and you will see many taxis waiting for passengers. It takes about an hour and costs around CNY150 from DX airport to your hotel in midnight. Have fun~

As the Daxing Airport Express will stop service at 22:30, the only possible way is to take a taxi to the airport. The taxi fare would be around CNY 150.

Hi there, there is no airport bus running along the way. The fastest way is by subway, but involving several transfers.

From Beishatan subway station, take subway line 15 to Liudaokou, change to Changping Line to Xitucheng, then change to Line 10 to Mudanyuan, after, connect to Line 19 to Caoqiao, at last transfer to Daxing Airport Line to the destination. It takes about 80 minutes in total and costs CNY40.

I'm not sure when you will depart. Take Bus Line 81 from Keyueyuan Nanli to Beitucheng Station. Then take Metro Line 10 from Beitucheng to Mudanyuan and transfer to Metro Line 19 to Caoqiao Station. After that, transfer to Airport Express to Daxing Airport. It takes about 1.5 hours in total and costs CNY 42 per person.
