Beijing Capital and Beijing Daxing are separate airports in different directions from the city. Confirm PEK or PKX before choosing a hotel transfer or onward railway station.
Beijing Capital International Airport
Capital Airport lies northeast of central Beijing. Airport rail, taxis and pre-arranged transfers serve the city, but terminal and final-destination details determine the best choice.
Beijing Daxing International Airport
Daxing lies south of the city and has dedicated rail connections. A hotel described as central can still require a long cross-city transfer.
Connecting to railway stations
Beijing South, West, North and Beijing station are different hubs. Avoid short separate-ticket connections and save the full Chinese station name for the driver.
