Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (武汉天河国际机场) is one of the biggest airports in central China. It is located 26 km northwest of Wuhan city. Transportation to and from the airport to the city is very convenient provided you know what destination you are headed for. There is a bus terminal at the airport which is very affordable for budget travelers. From the bus terminal you can reach any corner of the city. Tickets can be purchased in the arrivals hall for 15 RMB per person. In front of the arrival hall of the airport there is also a taxi stand. You will receive a service card with the number plate of your taxi on it. In case you are not satisfied with the service of the taxi, call the service number on the card. Do not take taxis offered to you in the arrival hall of the airport as they intend to charge a higher fare. Only take the taxis which are waiting at the taxi stand. Do not bargain the price with the driver, tell the taxi driver to use the meter. Another more expensive means of transportation is to rent a car.
There are daily flights linking Wuhan with numerous destinations both in China and abroad (including Asia and Europe).

The city of Wuhan consists of three districts; Wuchang (武昌), Hankou (汉口) and Hanyang (汉阳). Each district has its own railway station serving different destinations across China. The two major railway stations are in Wuchang and Hankou. Train tickets cost the same at each of the three stations.
Wuhan has three main railway lines; the Jing Guang railway (京广铁路线) line (from Beijing to Guangzhou passing through Wuhan), the Handan Railway (邯郸铁路线) line (from Hankou to Chongqing and then to Chengdu), and the Wu Jiu railway ( 武九铁路线) line (from Wuchang to Jiu Jiang and continuing on to Shanghai).
If you are traveling to the north, the Jing Guang railway line is the one you want; you should arrive or depart at the Hankou station.
If you are heading south, catch the train at Wuchang station. If you are heading for or coming from Chengdu, Chongqing, or other western destinations, you will probably arrive or depart from Wuchang station.
If you are coming from or going to any eastern provinces, Hankou or Wuchang station are both suitable for your trip.
For trains to Wuhan it is best to find this information from the departure city. All trains follow the same routes going to Wuhan as they do going from Wuhan.
