Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (KWL) serves as the city’s main gateway for domestic and a growing number of regional international flights, functioning more like a regional hub than a long-haul premium airport. It typically hosts Chinese carriers such as China Southern, China Eastern and low-cost/regional operators on frequent routes to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and nearby Asian cities. The airport sits about 28–30 km southwest of central Guilin; road transfers typically take 35–50 minutes by taxi (fare roughly CNY 80–130) or around 45–60 minutes by airport bus/shuttle at a lower cost. Pros: relatively compact terminals and steady connectivity for sightseeing travelers. Cons: limited long-haul options and occasional peak-hour congestion on roads.

Xi’an is served primarily by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s main international and domestic hub that handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost Chinese airlines. The airport sits about 40–50 km northwest of the walled city; journey times to downtown typically range from 35–60 minutes by airport express train or 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Public transport options include the high-speed airport rail link and several coach lines with fares usually lower than taxis; taxis and ride-hailing are more convenient but can be costlier. Pros: good connectivity and frequent flights, useful for international connections. Cons: distance from the center can add transfer time and occasional peak-hour congestion.
