Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. The airport is located about 6 km from the Shangri-La city center (Dukezong Ancient Town). The journey takes approximately 15-20 minutes and typically costs between 30-50 CNY. It is advisable to ensure the driver uses the meter or to agree on a fare before starting the trip.

Rental Cars

Car rental services are available, primarily through Chinese companies that can be booked online in advance. A representative will usually meet you at the airport. Note that foreign visitors need a valid Chinese driver's license to rent and drive a car in China; an International Driving Permit (IDP) alone is not sufficient. A more common option for tourists is to hire a car with a private driver.

Public Transportation

An airport shuttle bus provides a convenient and affordable connection to the city center. The bus schedule is typically aligned with flight arrivals and departures. The route usually includes stops at major hotels and the main bus station in Shangri-La. The fare is significantly cheaper than a taxi, making it a popular choice for travelers.
