Answered by Alonso from MALAYSIA | Nov. 07, 2018 00:26

Which station do mean? there is no South Station in Nanning.

Answered by Arnold Demeyere from BELGIUM | Nov. 07, 2018 02:38

Thank you for your answer,
On my map of the Nanning Metro Map, I see there are 2 crossings of Line 1 and Line 3. The Northern crossing is at the Nanning Railway Station. The Southern crossing is called the "South Railway Station".
In that station terminates also Line S1 of the train coming from the Airport. Or they mean a Metro Railway Station ???
Anyway, is there a Bus Stop at that point where one of the airport busses stops ?

Answered by Alonso from MALAYSIA | Nov. 08, 2018 02:14

Get it, it is not Nanning. The city you are looking at should be Nanjing. Yes, from Nanjing Lukou airport, there is S1 line direct to Nanjing South Station. Both line 1 and line 3 can be used to transfer from Nanjing South Station to Nanjing Station.
