Beijing Daxing (PKX) is spectacular and, for a first-time visitor to China, genuinely confusing: payments work differently, the internet works differently, and visa rules change faster than most websites update. This independent guide exists to close that gap.
What we cover
The 240-hour visa-free transit rules with the full country list, getting between Daxing and the city by the Airport Express, trains and taxis, left-luggage counters, WiFi and eSIM survival, where to sleep in the terminal, and Great Wall layover plans.
Our method
Guides are maintained by Grace Chen, our Beijing travel editor. Facts come from primary sources: the National Immigration Administration, the airport hotline +86-10-96158, and operator tariffs. China changes quickly, so every guide carries the date its details were last verified, and uncertain figures are labeled as estimates rather than presented as facts.
Not the airport
We are not affiliated with Beijing Daxing International Airport or any Chinese authority. For official matters, lost property or baggage, call the airport hotline +86-10-96158 (24/7, English available).
