Is it too late?

Hello,

I'm trying to get to Furong Ancient town from Shanghai. The only flight available from Shanghai to Tongren Fenghuang Airport lands at 9:35pm. Will it be easy to find transportation to the ancient town at that hour?

Arriving at Tongren Fenghuang Airport at 9:35pm does make transportation to Furong Ancient Town a bit more challenging, as it is already late in the evening and public transport options will be limited.

Here’s what you should know:

  • The airport is about 90–100 km from Furong Ancient Town, roughly a 2-hour drive under normal conditions.
  • Public buses to Furong Ancient Town usually stop running by early evening, so you likely won’t find a direct bus at that hour.
  • Taxis and private cars are available at the airport, but the availability late at night might be limited. You may need to book a taxi in advance or coordinate with your hotel for a pick-up service.

Recommendations to consider:

  • Contact your hotel in Furong Ancient Town ahead of time to arrange a late-night pick-up. Many hotels can help organize a private driver, which is the safest and most reliable option for a late arrival.
  • If you plan to take a taxi independently, verify the fare with the airport taxi service or app beforehand; expect the cost to be higher late at night due to distance and timing.
  • Be prepared for the possibility of arriving after 11:30pm at the town, so check if your hotel has 24-hour check-in.

In summary, while it is possible to reach Furong Ancient Town after a 9:35pm arrival, you will almost certainly need a pre-arranged taxi or private transfer. Public transportation options will not be viable at that hour.
