Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official, metered taxis are available 24/7 at the designated taxi stand outside the arrivals hall of the terminal building. The journey to downtown Taiyuan typically takes 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. It is advisable to have your destination address written in Chinese characters.
Rental Cars
Car rental counters for companies like China Auto Rental (CAR) and eHi Car Services are located in the arrivals hall. Renting a car is an option, but it is important to note that foreign visitors must possess a valid People's Republic of China driver's license. An International Driving Permit (IDP) alone is not sufficient to rent and drive a vehicle in China.

Several bus lines connect Taiyuan Wusu International Airport to key destinations across the city, including Taiyuan Railway Station, Taiyuan South Railway Station (for high-speed trains), and other major commercial districts.
