Wuhan Tianhe International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Tianhe airport is about 25-26 km north of Hankou, connected to the centre by metro line 2 in 40-45 minutes to Jianghan Road. For dawn departures or one-night stopovers, two international chain hotels are just metres from Terminal 2; those with more time prefer instead to head straight down to Hankou, on the Yangtze riverfront.

Terminal 2

At the airport · The Crowne Plaza is about 50 metres as the crow flies from Terminal 2; the Holiday Inn is 100 metres away, with a free shuttle between T2 and T3.

Best for: One-night stopovers and dawn departures, for those who want to walk to check-in.

Pros

You can walk to check-in, with no dependence on the metro or traffic
Both offer a free shuttle to the other terminals

Cons

Only the terminal area around: for dinner you stay in the hotel or at the airport
Hankou still requires 40-45 minutes by metro, with no faster alternative
