Taxis

Taxis are readily available at a designated stand outside the arrivals hall. The service is metered, and a trip to the main city districts (like Kundulun or Qingshan) typically takes 30-40 minutes and costs approximately 30-50 CNY, depending on traffic and your final destination.

Rental Cars

Major Chinese car rental companies such as China Auto Rental (Shenzhou) and Ehi Car Services have counters or representatives at the airport. It is advisable to book in advance. Please note that foreign visitors typically need a valid Chinese driver's license to rent a vehicle.

Public Transportation

The airport is connected by both airport shuttles and local city buses.

- Airport Shuttle Bus: This is a convenient option connecting the airport to key points in the city, including Baotou Railway Station and Baotou East Railway Station. The route and schedule are designed to coincide with flight arrivals.

- City Bus: Local bus routes, including No. 40 and No. 45, serve the airport. This is the most economical option, connecting the airport to various parts of the Donghe and Kundulun districts, though the travel time is longer due to multiple stops.
