The airport bus will operate till the last flight arrival and it takes about CNY 15-20. It takes about CNY80-100 to take a taxi to downtown. You can stay overnight in the airport. But some of the lights will be closed in late night.

Hi Ann and admin, I will be landing at Changsha Airport at 22.30 pm (I guess may be AA direct flight from Bangkok as same as Ann) and booked a hotel near Railway Station too. After passing the Immigration and Customs checkpoints, I plan to take an Airport shuttle bus to Hunan Civil Aviation Hotel and then take a 10-minute walk to my hotel. As a female solo traveler, is it safe to walk alone in that area at night around midnight to 1 a.m.?

Hurry up and you can still catch the metro. First, take metro line 6 from the airport to Renmin East Road, then change to line 2 to the Railway Station, where your hotel is located nearby. Generally, the last metro train departs at around 23:30.

As I know, there won't have many roadblocks. But you are still advised to prepare enough time from downtown to the airport.

How long does she stay in China? If she leaves the country within 24 hours, then she is eligible for 24 hour visa free transit.
