00ReplyThe airport bus stop at Bell Tower is only 200 meters away from Holiday Inn Express, walk southward and find the hotel on your right hand.
From Exit 3 of Bell Tower Metro station, walk southward for about 150 meters to find the hotel on your right.

00ReplyYes, it generally costs higher at night.
It takes about CNY 120-140 for a taxi which can accommodate at most 4 passengers.
Booking a hotel drop-off service would be more convenient.
Generally, they can't speak English and some can only say easy words. So you'd better prepare a translating app.
