Transfer to Panda Research Base
Good evening,
Is there any direct transfer to the Panda Research Base? We are two citizens from Hungary and Spain, having a 7½ hour scale at TFU. Is it possible to pay by card in the taxis?
Thank you very much.

I'm afraid the time is too tight as the single journey from the airport to the panda base generally takes about 2 hours. So it is not suggested to get out of the airport. BTW, it is better prepare cash to pay the taxis.

Thank you very much for your answer. If we decide to allocate more time, is there any public transport bringing us close to the panda base?
Kind regards

Take Metro Line 18 from the airport to South Railway Station and then transfer to Metro Line 1 to Sichuan Gymnasium Station. After that, transfer to Metro Line 3 to Junqu General Hospital Station. Get out of the Exit A and there is still about 2km from the panda base. You can choose to take a taxi.

There is no public transport available and hiring a car is the best choice.

Yes, you can. You are eligible for the 24-hour visa-free transit and you can apply for a temporary entry permit at the 24-hour visa-free transit counter to get out of the airport.
