Longdongbao Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Longdongbao Airport is about 11 km from central Guiyang, reachable in 15-20 minutes by metro Line 2, bus or taxi (about 50 CNY). The distance is short by Chinese standards, so even with a dawn flight, downtown remains a workable option; anyone who prefers to skip any transfer can still choose one of the international chain hotels that have appeared in recent years just minutes from the terminals.

Nanming, minutes from the terminals

Airport area · 3.3 km from the terminal, about 5-10 minutes by car or with the hotel shuttle.

Best for: Anyone who wants to stay near the airport without giving up an international standard.

Pros

A recently opened property, among the closest to the terminals with an international brand
Handy for anyone arriving late or leaving at dawn without wanting to go into the city

Cons

A residential area with no evening life of its own
Guiyang's old town still needs 15-20 minutes by car or metro
