Airport ↔ rail connections
Xuzhou Guanyin International Airport徐州观音国际机场
Xuzhou Guanyin (XUZ) has a station on the Xuzhou–Yancheng high-speed line about 1.5 km from the terminal: take the ¥3 shuttle from outside T2 arrivals, about five minutes, then 15 minutes to Xuzhou East railway station (¥14), with Suqian, Huai’an East and Yancheng further along the same line. Only about 13 trains call here each day, so a late flight can easily miss the last one — check the day’s timetable before you commit. There is no direct train to Xuzhou’s old main station: change at Xuzhou East. No metro reaches this airport.
Getting from the plane onto a high-speed train
