Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport石家庄正定国际机场

From here it is 14 minutes to Shijiazhuang station (¥16.5) and 73 minutes to Beijing West (¥134). No metro reaches this airport. Tickets can be booked on traintickets.travel.
Getting from the plane onto a high-speed train

Follow the exit signs about 100 m to the shuttle waiting area — right inside the building, marked on floor and walls. Buses call at T2 first, then T1. Free, and 5–7 minutes.
-
The other way: terminal to train
Catch the same free shuttle outside T2 or T1 arrivals. You can also check in and drop bags in the check-in hall next to the station.
