Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are readily available at a designated taxi stand outside the arrivals hall. The trip to the center of Tengchong town is about 12-15 km and takes approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Fares are metered and typically cost between 40-60 CNY. Ensure the driver uses the meter or agree on a price beforehand.
Rental Cars
Major Chinese car rental companies offer services, though they may not have a physical counter inside the terminal. It is best to book in advance online or via their apps for airport pickup. Please note that foreign visitors need a valid Chinese driver's license to rent a car; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not sufficient on its own. Hiring a car with a local driver is a popular alternative.
Public Transportation
An official Airport Express shuttle bus (机场快线) is the primary public transit option. It connects the airport with key locations in Tengchong, including the main tourism bus station. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes, and the fare is very affordable (around 10-15 CNY). The bus schedule is coordinated with flight arrival times.
