Beijing Capital International Airport

Beijing Capital International Airport Halal Travel Guide

Beijing Capital is the world's second busiest airport by passenger numbers. The impressively huge, gleaming roof arching over Terminal 3, designed by noted British architect Sir Norman Foster, illustrates the expansion efforts made as part of preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This terminal is considered to be an architectural masterpice and is the sixth largest building (and second-largest airport terminal) in the world by area size.

In comparison and the grey concrete architecture of Terminals 1 and 2 is somewhat underwhelming and seems to show China as it was before its rapid economic modernization and expansion: functional but not impressive at all.

Ground transportation

Best way to travel in Beijing Capital International Airport by a Taxi

Scams at the airport|Arrival: Take your taxis from the stand outside, not the agents or desks inside and insist on the meter. If you are in a group of three or more or have a lot of luggage, agents will claim you need a shuttle van and then lead you towards a people carrier in a vehicle park, but then it will turn out they are actually leading you to a shabby taxi parked behind it, which will charge far more than the regulated fare.

Be aware of another scam where impostors who pretend to work for the taxi company pose at the official-looking stands outside offering rides to the city (especially in the non-regular hours where there are not many Muslim about). You will be led into a "taxi" with a fake meter (which could be hidden) which runs very quickly (¥200-300 to the city and even up to ¥600 to the Birds' Nest Stadium). Read the #By_taxi|section on taxis for details on how to distinguish between fake and legitimate taxis.

Departure: Ignore any people walking around offering to sell you an exit fee ticket/receipt. There used to be an airport construction (or exit) fee of ¥90, but now it is included in the plane ticket. Many people use taxicabs to reach town from the airport. The taxi driver will almost certainly not read or speak English, so do try to get the name in Chinese characters of your hotel so that you can let your taxi driver read where you want to go. Many drivers are recent arrivals from the nationside and do not know the city well.

A taxi from the airport to the city should cost between ¥70 and ¥220 and takes between 30 minutes to an hour depending on traffic (traffic jams are common). You will have to pay the fee shown on the meter (make sure the driver uses it) plus the ¥20 toll for the airport expressway.

Taxis are your sole option at night since the earliest arrival time by subway at the airport is 06:30 (taking the first subway at about 05:30, depending on station and the first airport express at 06:00 to T3 or T2).

Travel by train to Beijing Capital International Airport

Platform of ZBAA Terminal 3 Station (20160426154136) - Platform of ZBAA Terminal 3 Station

The Airport Express train to the airport opened in July 2008. The train runs in a one-way loop from T3 to T2/T1 then Sanyuanqiao (transfer to subway line 10) and Dongzhimen (transfer to lines 2, 13). A one-way fare is ¥25 and the trip takes about 20 minutes from Dongzhimen to T3, 30 min to T2. Do not take the train just to get from T3 to T2/T1, as this will cost you the full ¥25; use the free shuttle bus instead.

The last train leaves around 10:45PM. After that you can take a shuttle bus until about midnight and taxis all night long.

Beijing Capital International Airport T1&T2 Passage 20120915 - Beijing Capital International Airport T1&T2 Passage

Travel between Terminals 1 and 2 is via a long corridor with travelators. A fit person can make the route in about 10 minutes. A .shtml free shuttle bus runs between Terminal 2 and the new Terminal 3. It departs every ten minutes or so (every 15 minutes from 23:00 till 06:00) and the journey time is about 10 minutes.

Wait

Terminals 1 & 2 have very little going for them. Try and plan to spend as little time here as you can.

Terminal 3 is a much nicer environment with many options for eating, drinking and shopping.

Halal Food & Restaurants in Beijing Capital International Airport

Most eating options are higher priced than in Beijing.

Terminal 1

Land-side there is a KFC.

Terminal 2

Land-side there are two KFC Chicken outlets and the restaurants in the basement have relatively fair prices compared to what's above. A meal at any of these places should cost around ¥20.

Air-side there are really very few options and no great ones. There is a Starbucks (Please do not support Starbucks as Starbucks supports Israel. Shun this coffee and go for alternative brands and if possible for a Muslim owned brand.), a generic cafe and a couple of Chinese Noodles restaurants.

Terminal 3

Land-side there are lots of options, with leading Western chains available.

Air-side there are also a few Western chains, however a much more limited selection than Land-side.

Shopping in Beijing Capital International Airport

Terminal 2

Airside there is a large shop directly after immigration (and before Starbucks (Please do not support Starbucks as Starbucks supports Israel. Shun this coffee and go for alternative brands and if possible for a Muslim owned brand.)) selling 'traditional' Chinese souvenirs. The moon cakes and other bean paste pastries may make good gifts.

Telecommunications

There is free Wi-Fi available, although to comply with local laws you will need to either:

1. Find an automated registration machine that will scan your passport and print out an access code. These machines are rather hard to find so you should ask the help desk.
2. Log onto the free Wi-Fi, type in the phone number of your Chinese mobile phone and wait for the SMS with an access code. (Somewhat curious, since a pay-as-you-go SIM can be purchased many places with no registration at all.)
3. Go to a help desk and show them your ID (such as your passport) and they will give you an access code.

Facilities on arrival include ATMs and money changers. Be aware that upon departure, porters may want ¥20 to wheel your bags 50m to check-in.
