Guilin Liangjiang International Airport

Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (IATA: KWL) opened in 1996 and now operates two passenger terminals, serving as a medium-sized international gateway to Guilin and Guangxi’s famous karst landscapes. Popular with tourists, the airport handles a steady mix of domestic and regional flights to China, Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea and functions as a regional base for carriers such as China Southern and Hainan Airlines while low-cost operators like Spring Airlines also have frequent services. Located roughly 28 km from downtown Guilin, Liangjiang is reached by airport shuttle buses, taxis and private transfers with links to Guilin’s railway stations; fares and parking tend to be reasonably affordable outside peak holiday periods.
