Wuhan Metro Line 2 extends to the airport terminal, connecting Wuhan Railway Station (high-speed rail) and the city centre to the airport in 50–60 minutes for CNY 8–12. The metro operates from around 06:00 to 23:00. Airport shuttle buses also depart from the main railway stations for CNY 20.DiDi and taxis from central Wuhan cost CNY 80–140 depending on origin (the city is large and spread across both sides of the Yangtze). Driving via G4 Beijing–Hong Kong–Macao Expressway with airport spur takes 30–50 minutes in normal traffic.
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.
