Ground Transportation

Nanchang Public Transport Corporation operates two airport routes from the city. These are high profile buses with underbelly luggage compartments.

Airport Public Bus Route 1 serves between Nanchang Railway Station and the airport, with stops along Bayi Avenue, Yangming Avenue and Lushan Avenue north of Gan River. These stops include Lao-fu-shan, Nanchang Bus Station (or Ganjiang hotel across the street), Jiangxi Hotel, Hongdu Hotel, Yingshang.

Airport Public Bus Route 2 serves between the Aviation Hotel (on Hongcheng Lu, near the Hongcheng Market) and the airport. It makes one stop at the Fenghe Interchange in south Honggutan.

It has been observed that some of these buses do not change their head signs when they operate on a different route. For example, a bus running between the railway station and the airport may display Airport Route 2.
