CNY 2 gets you from Wanfenglin Airport to central Xingyi
Xingyi Airport Bus Line 1 runs from T2 at Wanfenglin Airport into town for CNY 2, so it undercuts taxis by a huge margin. The line starts at the airport and runs to Mujia International Trade and Commercial Mall, which sits in central Xingyi and works as a handy transfer point for local buses or a short taxi hop.
First departure shows as 06:30 and the last around 20:00, so this bus only helps if your flight lands within that 13.5‑hour window. The posted ride time is about 1 hour 5 minutes from the airport to central stops, which is roughly double a taxi, but you pay a tiny fraction of the price. Build that extra hour into your arrival or departure plans so you are not watching the clock from the back row.
The official routing lists Wanfenglin Airport on one end and Mujia International Trade and Commercial Mall on the other, with intermediate stops including Changpoling. Travel China Guide notes that riders heading toward West Coach Station use Line 1 to Changpoling, then walk roughly 400 meters along local streets to reach the intercity buses. That combo keeps the total airport–West Coach Station time near 1 hour 5 minutes if you walk with purpose.
Service runs as a fixed bus line, not an on-demand shuttle, so expect set departures rather than a bus waiting at every arrival gate. Because the last bus is around 20:00, late-night and very early-morning flights usually end up in a taxi or Didi by default. Line 1 is a standard city bus, so pay in small bills or coins in CNY at the onboard farebox; CNY 2 notes and coins work, while large bills can slow boarding.
Step-by-step from T2 to central Xingyi
- 1. Exit domestic arrivals in T2 and follow airport signs for the public bus stop; look for signage mentioning “Line 1” or buses to Mujia International Trade and Commercial Mall.
- 2. Check the posted timetable at the stop; if the next departure is over 30 minutes away and it is near 20:00, price out a taxi as a backup.
- 3. Board Xingyi Airport Bus Line 1, have CNY 2 ready, and pay the driver or farebox as locals do.
- 4. For West Coach Station, get off at Changpoling, then walk about 400 meters following local signs or map apps to the coach station entrance.
- 5. For central hotels, ride to Mujia International Trade and Commercial Mall, then grab a short taxi or local bus for the last 1–3 kilometers.
One tip: screenshot a map showing “Changpoling” and “Mujia International Trade and Commercial Mall” in Chinese characters before landing, so you can match stop names on the bus and at signs without mobile data.
