The airport sits about 25–30 km east of Haikou’s city center, with travel options including airport shuttle buses (roughly 40–60 minutes), taxis (30–50 minutes; fares typically in the mid-range for China), and occasional ride-hailing services. Transportation is generally straightforward, though peak hours may add delay. Pros: full service facilities, international connections and plentiful ground transport; cons: longer transfer time to central Haikou and possible congestion at busy times.
