Xi'an Metro Line 14 opened in 2024 and connects Xi'an North (high-speed rail station) to T5 at Xianyang Airport in 30–35 minutes (¥6). This replaced the previous airport shuttle bus as the default transit option for most travelers. Line 14 also connects to Xi'an central via transfers at Xi'an North.Airport shuttle buses still serve the city centre and Bell Tower area (¥30, 50–70 min). Taxis from Xi'an Zhonglou (Bell Tower area) cost ¥80–120 and take 40–60 minutes on the G30 expressway. DiDi is widely used. The airport is 47 km northwest of the city centre.
Metro Line 2 to People's Square costs ¥6 and takes 30 minutes; runs until midnight. The same line continues east to Pudong Airport (PVG), making cross-airport connections possible without a surface taxi. Line 10 serves additional city destinations.Taxis from SHA to downtown cost ¥40–70 (30–45 min metered). DiDi: ¥35–60. The integrated Hongqiao Railway Station (same terminal complex) connects directly to high-speed rail; this is SHA's major advantage over PVG for domestic connections and onward rail travel. Rental car desks are in the terminal.
