Beihai Transportation - Getting There

Beihai Fucheng Airport is a modern airport operating flights to more than a dozen cities, amongst which are Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Guangzhou. It covers an area of 7 acres (3.5 hectares) with a runway of 3,500 yards (about 3,200 meters) and 65 yards (about 60 meters) wide. Now there is one terminal building in service. Airport shuttle buses are available here, which can take passengers to the downtown area within 40 minutes at a cost of CNY20 per person. In addition, taxis awaiting outside the Arrival Hall can be rented to tour the nearby attractions.

There is only one train station located at Beijing Road in the city center - Beihai Railway Station. It has a grand thirteen-storey building, four cargo loading and unloading lines and a large warehouse. It has strong cargo capacity but is relatively weak in passenger transportation. At present, both ordinary trains and bullet trains are scheduled here for passengers' convenience, and the destinations include Liuzhou, Nanning, Guangzhou, Guilin, Fangchenggang and Hangzhou.
