Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available, typically waiting outside the terminal for arriving flights. It is the most common and direct way to get to nearby towns. A trip to Xiahe Town (home to Labrang Monastery) takes approximately 45-60 minutes and costs around 150-200 CNY. A similar journey to Hezuo City also takes about an hour. Fares are often negotiated, so it's advisable to agree on a price before starting the trip. Shared taxis (拼车, pīnchē) are also a common, more economical option.

Rental Cars

Major international and national car rental companies do not have counters directly at this small regional airport. Renting a car typically requires pre-arranging with a provider in a larger city like Lanzhou or a local operator in Hezuo or Xiahe. Note that foreign visitors need a valid Chinese driver's license to rent and drive a car in China. A more common alternative is hiring a private car with a driver for the duration of your stay.

Public Transportation

An airport shuttle bus service is available, with its schedule coordinated with flight arrivals and departures. The bus typically serves two main destinations: Xiahe Town (for Labrang Monastery) and Hezuo City (the prefectural capital). This is the most economical option, with a journey time of about 60-75 minutes to either destination. Tickets can be purchased at the airport upon arrival.
