Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get from Shenzhen Bao'an Airport to downtown Shenzhen?
Metro Line 11 (Airport Express) connects the airport to Futian station in the city center in about 45 minutes, costing CNY 9. The line is a modern express metro with dedicated business-class carriages. Airport shuttle buses serve various city districts, and taxis to Futian CBD cost approximately CNY 100-130.
How many terminals does Shenzhen Airport have?
SZX has two terminals connected by an underground walkway. Terminal 3 (the newer and larger terminal) handles the majority of domestic and all international flights. The older Terminal 1 was renovated and reopened to manage overflow domestic traffic. A satellite concourse connected by an automated people mover expanded capacity further.
What is special about Shenzhen Bao'an Airport?
Terminal 3, designed by Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas, features a stunning honeycomb-patterned double-layered facade that creates a cathedral-like interior filled with natural light. The award-winning design resembles a manta ray when viewed from above. Shenzhen's role as China's technology capital is reflected in the airport's advanced automated systems.
Is there free Wi-Fi at Shenzhen Airport?
Yes, SZX offers free Wi-Fi throughout both terminals. The network is accessible after registration via phone number or WeChat. Given Shenzhen's tech-forward reputation, the Wi-Fi speeds are generally reliable and suitable for video calls and streaming.
Which airlines operate from Shenzhen Airport?
Shenzhen Airlines, a subsidiary of Air China, is based at SZX and operates the most flights. China Southern Airlines also has a major presence. The airport serves as a key hub in the Pearl River Delta region and competes with nearby Guangzhou (CAN) and Hong Kong (HKG) for international traffic.
