Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official taxis are available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall of both terminals. The ride to downtown Nanchang (e.g., Bayi Square) typically takes 40-60 minutes and costs approximately CNY 80-120. Ensure the driver uses the meter.
Rental Cars
Car rental counters, including major Chinese providers like eHi Car Services and Shenzhou Car Rental, are located in the arrivals hall. Note: Renting and driving a car in China requires a Chinese driver's license; an International Driving Permit (IDP) alone is not sufficient. Hiring a car with a driver is an alternative.
Public Transportation
The primary public transit option is the Airport Shuttle Bus service. Multiple lines connect the airport to key locations, including Nanchang Railway Station (Line 1) and Nanchang West Railway Station (Line 3 for high-speed trains). The fare is typically CNY 15-20, and the journey takes about 60-90 minutes. Currently, there is no direct metro line to the airport.
