Dear Tiu,
T1 and T2 are connected. It takes about 10 minutes to walk between T1 and T2. Have a good time in Lanzhou.
Hi, I am in a group of 6 arriving Lanzhou airport late around 10.30 pm. Could you recommend a reliable private transport to pick us from airport to hotel which is about 70 Km away.
Dear Sky Lau,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Actually it is all right to line up at the official taxi stand in Lanzhou Airport for the taxi ride to your hotel. A private transfer will be a bit expensive.
