Nanning Transportation -- Getting There


By Air

Nanning Wuxu International Airport (NNG) is located in Wuxu Town, about 31 kilometers (19 miles) southwest from the city proper. Since its opening, Wuxu Airport has reached a capacity of some 2.5 million passengers each year and can handle 15 large passenger airliners at one time. Advanced technology, including radar system, VOR system and blind landing greatly ensure flight safety while sound freight transit facilities make passengers' trips easier. The airport also provides special services for different groups of passengers, such as seniors, handicapped and children without companions.

There are 26 scheduled airlines mostly to cities in southern and western China, including Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen, Kunming, Chengdu, Guiyang, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan as well as Beijing and Xian. Other airlines to northern and eastern China are under consideration now.

For passengers' convenience, the airport manages shuttle buses to the city according to the arrival time of each flight. The bus starts from the Ticket Booking Department in Chao Yang Lu (Chaoyang Rd.) or the Airport Departure Lounge. Tickets cost about CNY15. Alternatively, passengers can take No.301 (CNY2) city bus to go to the urban city.

Other railway lines extend to the cities of Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi provinces as well as some provincial cities including Guilin, Beihai and Fangchenggang.

hello! i will visit nanning next month. i will arrive in guangzhou on december 2 at 9:30 pm. my return trip is on december 7 at 10:00 pm. i'm just wondering about the bus and the train schedule.

- what time is the first and last trip?
- how much is the fare?
- how many hours will it take?

i'm so nervous because it will be my first time in china. thanks in advance. ^^;;

Mr.Shan replied:

Hi Lila, the train from Guangzhou to Nanning takes about 13 hours, and the last one leaves at 21:06 everyday. On the other hand, the last flight from Guangzhou to Nanning also leaves at 20:20 on Dec 2. So, you should stay one night in Guangzhou, or change another flight to arrive at Guangzhou earlier.

Actually, it is suggested that you fly to Guangzhou firstly and then go to Nanning by flight as well, vice versa. I don't think you could purchase the train ticket to Nanning on the spot.

hello, sir. No direct flight from Bangkok to Nanning. You should make a transfer at Hong Kong, or fly to other cities in mainland China which is closer to Nanning.

Mr.Leo replied:

Currently, there is no direct train from Nanning to Hong Kong. So, you have to use a flight. Or, you could take a train from Nanning to Guangzhou firstly (about 11~14 hours), and then take a bus to Hong Kong.

The express bus from Nanning to Kunming is about CNY180. If you take a train to Kunming, the fare is much cheaper. Not very about the fare to Laos.

Chongqing is 1900km from Guangzhou. Are you sure you will going there by bus? Chongqing Bus Station has two buses to Guangzhou at: 11:30 and 17:00. It needs about 20 hours to make the trip. Chongqing North Railway Station has train to Guangzhou and the journey takes 22-30 hours. The train ticket costs aroud 350/440 for sleeper. Bus ticket is cheaper, 220RMB. It is possible to take a ticket online, but I never try.
