How to take each option

Beijing–Xiong’an intercity (recommended)

Time 28 minFare ¥25–30
  1. After baggage claim, follow the rail transit or high-speed signs into the B1 transfer concourse.
  2. Pass the open ticket gates; buy on 12306 or at the concourse counter.
  3. Go down to the B2 platforms and board a Beijing West service.
  4. Alight at Beijing West 28 minutes later, where you can continue on the Beijing–Guangzhou and Beijing–Kowloon main lines.

Daxing Airport is the world’s first air-rail hub with high-speed track running beneath the terminal; the Beijing–Xiong’an yard has two island platforms and six tracks. Arriving passengers exit at the north or south B1 exits and ride escalators or lifts up into the terminal.

  1. Take the Daxing Airport Express 19 minutes to Caoqiao.
  2. Change to Metro Line 10 or Line 19.

Questions travellers ask

How long is Daxing Airport to Beijing West?

The Beijing–Xiong’an intercity takes 28 minutes at fastest over 47 km.

How much does the train cost?

Second class ¥25–30 across three flexible bands, first class ¥40–48, business class ¥75–90.

Where is the railway station in the airport?

Under the terminal: B1 holds the concourse and waiting hall, B2 the platforms. It is about 10 minutes from the arrivals level.

Do I have to leave the airport to catch the train?

No — go straight from arrivals into the B1 transfer concourse, clear the gates and down to B2, all inside the terminal building.

How many trains a day are there?

About 28 departures a day towards Beijing West, according to a third-party ticketing query; check the day’s timetable on 12306 for exact times.

Can I also get to Xiong’an or Tianjin?

Yes — Xiong’an is 19 minutes away and Tianjin West 38 minutes, both from the same underground station.

How early should I arrive for my train?

International arrivals usually take 45–60 minutes from touchdown to the arrivals hall; add 10 minutes to the platform, so leave yourself at least 1.5 hours.

Is it manageable with big luggage?

Yes — escalators and lifts connect B1 and B2, and the whole transfer concourse is indoors, far easier than dragging bags across the metro network.

Can I still catch the intercity if I land late?

Intercity services finish early, so late at night take Night Bus 1 or a taxi.
