The Zhengzhou Airport Rail Express (Metro Line 2 extension) connects Zhengzhou East Railway Station and the city centre to the airport in 30–40 minutes for CNY 20–25. The line runs from roughly 06:00 to 23:00. Airport shuttle buses also depart from several city hotels for around CNY 20.Taxis and DiDi ride-shares to the airport from the city centre cost CNY 70–120 depending on origin and traffic. Driving is straightforward via G4E Beijing–Hong Kong–Macao Expressway with dedicated airport access roads and structured terminal parking.
Follow signs to the Metro Line 18 station inside the terminal. The express service reaches Chengdu South Railway Station in 35 minutes (CNY 10), where you can transfer to Lines 1, 7, or 18 local stops for the rest of the city. To reach Tianfu Square, transfer at Century City and take Line 1 north (total about CNY 30, 55-65 minutes).

Taxis queue at the designated rank and use meters; budget CNY 180-260 to central Chengdu.

Chengdu sits in the Sichuan Basin with a humid subtropical climate. Summers (June-September) hit 22-29 degrees C with heavy monsoon rain. Half the annual 1000mm of rainfall lands in these four months, arriving as afternoon thunderstorms. Winters (December-February) average 3-8 degrees C and stay overcast. Frost is rare but the persistent cloud cover and dampness make it feel colder than the numbers suggest.
Chengdu is one of the cloudiest cities in China with roughly 200 overcast days per year and only 1000 hours of annual sunshine. Spring warms unevenly with cold snaps into April. Autumn (late September-November) is the most comfortable stretch with clear-ish skies and mild temperatures. Pack layers and rain gear regardless of season; an umbrella earns its place year-round here.
