A new rail link is poised to take passengers from downtown to Beijing Daxing International Airport within 30 minutes.
Passengers will soon be able to travel from downtown Beijing to the new airport at a designed speed of 250 km per hour when both the rail link and airport begin operations later this month.
Beijing Daxing International Airport is expected to handle 45 million passengers annually by 2021 and 72 million by 2025.
