Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are available at the official taxi stand outside the arrivals hall. The journey to Kangding city center is approximately 38 kilometers (24 miles) and takes about one hour. It is advisable to have your destination written in Chinese. Ensure the driver uses the meter or agree on a fixed fare before starting the trip. Ride-hailing services like DiDi Chuxing may also be available, but service can be limited due to the remote location.

Rental Cars

Car rental options at Kangding Airport are limited and typically offered by local Chinese companies rather than major international brands. Pre-booking is highly recommended. Please note that foreign visitors need a valid Chinese driver's license to rent and drive a car in China; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not sufficient on its own. An alternative is to hire a car with a private driver, which can be arranged in advance through local travel agencies or car service companies.

Public Transportation

The most common and economical option is the airport shuttle bus. The bus service is synchronized with flight schedules, departing for Kangding city center after flights arrive. The bus journey takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and typically terminates at the Kangding Bus Station (康定汽车站). Tickets can be purchased at a counter inside the airport terminal.
