I arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport by plane at 20:30 on July 3rd. Do you think it would be better for me to live near the airport, or to take a bus to the city for accommodation?

The civil aviation buses from the airport to the city usually close at 20:00 in the evening. You can only take a taxi to the city. The general cost is about 60 yuan, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. There are no places to go shopping around the airport. If you want to go shopping at night, you can go to Jinli in the city.

If you are connecting flights the next day, it is of course more convenient to stay at the airport. For example, the nearest airport hotel is 028-89906775 (but the rooms are quite old). There are also aviation hotels nearby: 028-65366163 , Airport Tianyi Business Hotel 028-66572355, etc.; if you are not transferring the next day, it is best to stay in the urban area. The conditions of urban hotels are much better, and there are only more than 100 budget hotels.
