Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport

Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport is about 32 km northwest of central Shenzhen. A taxi to Futian takes about 40 to 50 minutes, Nanshan Hi-Tech Park is about 22 km and 30 to 40 minutes away, and Luohu is about 40 km and 50 to 60 minutes away. Metro Line 11 reaches Futian in about 30 minutes.

Yes. The airport lies inside the city of Shenzhen, in Bao'an District on the eastern shore of the Pearl River estuary. It is on the western side of the city, so the business districts of Nanshan and Qianhai are closer than Futian or Luohu, which are further east.

Shenzhen Bao'an has one passenger terminal, Terminal 3, which opened in 2013 and handles all domestic and international flights. A satellite concourse to the north opened in late 2021 and is linked to Terminal 3 by an automated people mover. A Terminal 4 is planned but not yet open.

All passenger airlines use Terminal 3, including Shenzhen Airlines, China Southern, Hainan Airlines, Air China and foreign carriers such as Emirates and Singapore Airlines. Check-in, immigration and baggage claim are all in Terminal 3, and some flights board at the satellite concourse, which you reach by the people mover after security.

Follow the yellow taxi signs from arrivals to Gate 13 on the first floor of the Ground Transportation Center, where the official taxi rank operates. Taxis are metered. Many drivers do not speak English, so show your destination written in Chinese or saved in a map app such as Amap.

Yes. Metro Line 11 stops at Airport Station next to Terminal 3 and runs east through Bao'an and Nanshan to Futian in about 30 minutes. You can change to Lines 1 and 2 at Qianhai. Service runs from early morning until around midnight, and ticket machines accept mobile payments and cash.

Yes. DiDi is the main ride-hailing app in Shenzhen and picks up at the ride-hailing zones of the Terminal 3 Ground Transportation Center. Set your pick-up point to the airport's ride-hailing zone in the app. Drivers may message in Chinese, so the in-app translation feature is useful.
