Helpful Tips
Grab a Wuhan Tong card at any metro station. Smooth subway, bus, ferry rides. Tap and go. The card works everywhere.
Ride Metro Line 2 straight from Tianhe Airport to Hongshan Square. Downtown in 45 minutes. No transfers needed.
Install the 滴滴出行 (DiDi) app before landing. Foreign cards accepted. Reliable ride-hailing around the clock.
Hop the Yangtze River Ferry Terminal boat. Wuchang to Hankou costs a few yuan. Beat bridge traffic every time.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers outside the arrivals hall quote inflated flat fares to downtown and may refuse to use the meter. Only use the official taxi queue marked by airport staff and insist on the meter. If the driver refuses, step back and take the next cab.
Touts inside the terminal claim the airport express bus is "finished for the day" and push private minivan rides at several times the normal price. Check the clearly posted bus timetables near the exit doors or ask the uniformed information desk before accepting any ride.
Some metered taxis leaving Wuhan Tianhe take circuitous ring-road routes that can double the distance shown on the meter. Track the route on your phone map and politely point out any obvious detours. Most drivers will correct the route when they realize you're watching.
