Underground Parking Garage

Right under Terminal 3, no shuttle needed

The Underground Parking Garage sits directly beneath Terminal 3 at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), so you park and head straight up to check-in. No bus, no outside walk, and you stay indoors from car to departures. This is the closest car park to T3, which handles most international and many domestic flights.

This garage serves only Terminal 3, not T2 or T5, so double-check your boarding pass before you commit. If you’re flying from T2 or T5, you’ll need a different lot or an inter-terminal transfer after parking. Elevators and escalators link the parking levels directly to the T3 departures hall one floor above.

Being underground means your car stays out of the Xi'an summer heat and winter dust storms; the structure and overhead concrete keep vehicles fully covered on all levels. Lighting and signage from the parking area up to the Terminal 3 entrance are standard, with floor markings pointing toward the main check-in islands.

Payment machines sit near the main elevator cores leading to the T3 departures level, and pay-on-exit lanes accept tickets from those machines. Local drivers report using this garage for trips of several days from T3, so plan on short-term pricing that can add up on week-long stays. Keep your ticket with you; some exits at Chinese airports charge a lost-ticket flat fee.

Tip: Snap a photo of your parking level and nearest elevator bank number before you head up to Terminal 3; the underground layout can feel repetitive when you return after a long flight.
