Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Official taxi stands are available outside the arrival halls of both Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. Fares are metered, and it is the most direct way to reach your destination. Ride-hailing services like DiDi Chuxing are also a popular option and can be used for pickups at designated areas.

Rental Cars

Car rental counters from both international (e.g., Hertz, Avis) and major Chinese companies (e.g., Shenzhou, eHi) are located in the arrival halls. Important: Foreign visitors typically require a valid Chinese driver's license to rent a car, as an International Driving Permit is often not accepted on its own.

Public Transportation

The airport is well-integrated with the city's public transit network.
- Metro: The most convenient option. Terminal 3 is served by Metro Line 1 (Gaoqi Airport Station), and Terminal 4 is served by Metro Line 3 (Gaoqi Airport T4 Station).
- BRT (Bus Rapid Transit): A dedicated BRT station is connected to Terminal 4, offering a fast, elevated bus service to various parts of the city.
- Airport Buses: Multiple shuttle bus lines connect both terminals to key locations, including Xiamen Railway Station, Xiamen North Railway Station, and ferry terminals.

TERMINALS Posted by on November 11, 2015

Xiamen has two major terminals used by travellers, named as Terminal 3 (for international flights and all Xiamen Airlines flights); Terminal 4 is for domestic flights within China. It is the quickest airport I have ever moved through for international arrivals but is notorious for departures being delayed because of lack of air space as it is one of the busiest airports in China due to its popularity for domestic tourism, especially in the golden holiday periods. The proximity to Taiwan also creates a heavy military base concentration and at times, the air space is closed for military purposes, not that anyone expects war to break out any more.
