Direct answer
Plot the hotel's real entrance against your arrival terminal, main attractions and departure terminal, then compare complete transit or road routes at the hours you will use them.
What to know
- ●A short map distance may hide a long walk around a station or blocked road crossing.
- ●Check metro operating hours for late arrival and early departure.
- ●Confirm the address in Chinese and whether the booked room is in a separate annex.
