Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at CKG

Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport is connected to Chongqing and the wider China transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Rail & Metro

Chongqing Rail Transit Line 10 serves both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3A (stations on level B1); Line 3 serves Terminal 2 only. Fares run roughly RMB 2–7 depending on destination, with first trains around 6:30am and last trains around 10:30–10:53pm.

Bus & Shuttle

Airport shuttle buses run from the Ground Transportation Center to multiple points across the sprawling, hilly city.

Taxi

Metered taxis are available at both terminals; expect Chongqing's notorious traffic and elevation changes to stretch travel times.

Rideshare

Uber does not operate in mainland China — DiDi (with an international app/English interface) is the standard app-hailing option.

Car Rental

Limited compared to Western airports; most visitors use metro, taxi or DiDi instead of self-driving in Chongqing's dense, hilly street grid.

Insider tip

Take the metro rather than a taxi whenever possible — Chongqing's terrain and congestion make road travel to the city center unpredictable, while Line 10 runs directly from the terminals.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport website before travel.

Pre-Book Your Transfer
