Beijing South Railway Station is located at the joint of Dongcheng District and Fengtai District, within the South Second Ring of Beijing. It is the largest passenger station in China. Beijing Capital International Airport is located 32 km northeast of Beijing’s city center an enclave of Chaoyang District that is surrounded by rural Shunyi District.


Beijing South Railway Station is 35 km from the Capital Airport. There are many ways for you to transfer from Beijing Capital International Airport to Beijing downtown.

By Metro

Taking the metro is a relatively cheap and fast way to get to Beijing Capital Airport from Beijing South Railway Station. It will take 1 hour to 1.5 hours. You may take metro line 4 Daxing line(地铁4号线大兴线) at Beijing South Station(北京南站), passing 3 stops, get off at Xuanwu Station(宣武门站), then internal transfer to metro line 2 and get off at Dongzhimen Station(东直门站). Get out of the metro station and walk for about 510 meters to arrive at Dongzhimen stop(东直门站), take the airport express(机场快轨), and get off at T3 airport terminal stop(T3航站楼).

By Taxi

Taxis may be a flexible for your transfer. But the cost of it much higher than taking the metro or bus. You can hop on a taxi at the outside of railway station and tell the driver where you are going. The driver will take you there. It takes about 1 hour and 10 minute from Beijing South Railway Station to Capital Airport and costs about RMB 130.
