Getting to Linyi

Linyi Qiyang Airport is in Heodong District, approximately 7.8 km from Lini City District. It is relatively easy to get to Linyi by air with multiple flights daily coming in from Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. At the airport you can take a taxi into the city; the local drivers will try to bargain. Your best bet is to point to the meter and pretend you don't know any Chinese.
