Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Leshan

Hi! May I know how can I get from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Leshan please? Thank you!

Answered by Mike | Mar. 12, 2024 02:50

First, take airport shuttle bus line 4 to Chengdu East Railway Station, which departs about every 15-30 minutes. Then take a high speed train to Leshan.

Or you can take metro line 18 from airport to Chengdu South Railway Station, then connect to a train to Leshan.

Rest Area in Tianfu Airport

We will arrive at Tianfu Airport at 00:15 and I think we can't catch up with the last train from Tianfu airport to Chengdu East Railway. So I want to find a place to take a rest and wait for the early train. Besides Joyhub Cheer Hotel, How can I find a rest area (e.g Restaurance Area, Convenient store,... ) inside Tianfu Airport to wait for the early train?

Answers (2)

Answered by Rita | Mar. 06, 2024 19:42

Well, though metro is not available at time, it is okay to take Shuttle Bus Line 4 to Chengdu East Station for 1 hour.

You can also choose to rest at T2-L1 and T2-L2 areas.
