Airport Guide
Compare 3 airports near Linxia
For travelers heading to Linxia, it is important to note that no airport is located within the city itself. Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (LHW), situated in the neighboring city of Lanzhou, serves as the most practical hub for most domestic and international arrivals, offering the widest range of transport options including high-speed rail connections. While Gannan Xiahe Airport (GXH) is technically the closest to Linxia, it serves the neighboring Gannan Prefecture and relies heavily on private taxis or pre-arranged transfers, making it less accessible for budget-conscious travelers. Xining Caojiapu International Airport (XNN), located in the neighboring province of Qinghai, is a viable alternative for those already traveling through the Tibetan Plateau region, though it requires a significantly longer journey to reach Linxia by road or a combination of train and taxi. Travelers should prioritize LHW for its superior connectivity and transport frequency, whereas GXH and XNN are best suited for those whose itineraries specifically include other destinations in Gannan or Qinghai respectively.

A new hotel with five-star standards, a grand lobby, large rooms, clean and comfortable. The floor is high and you can enjoy the city view. The room rate is less than 400 and includes breakfast, which is absolutely worth it. If there is a slight shortcoming, it is that the training level and service awareness of the service staff still need to be improved. Because I only gave one door card when I checked in, my family was still in the room when I went out for a run in the morning. After running, I asked the front desk for another card (you need to swipe the card to take the elevator). When I explained the situation to one of the waiters, she didn't even raise her eyes and kept looking at the computer. Although another waiter took over the matter and quickly made a card for me, she said when she gave me the card, ”You have to return two cards when you check out.” This makes people feel bad. Do you need to explain this specifically? Isn't it common sense to return several cards given? Is it because they are worried that I will embezzle a room card of the hotel when I check out? What's the use of asking for a room card of the hotel? In addition, the doorman standing at the gate stood next to me when I was loading my luggage, and turned a blind eye throughout the whole process, without any intention of helping. In general, this hotel in Linxia is highly recommended. The few minor comments mentioned above are not nitpicking, but I hope they can do better.FromUS$48

The deluxe standard room I stayed in during this business trip was very comfortable. The bedding was clean and tidy, the room was sunny and bright, making me feel right at home. The experience was excellent. The staff were very welcoming; they even asked for an extra bottle of water when there were already two complimentary bottles in the room. Their attitude was excellent. The environment was also nice, with a Chinese style. It was very pleasant to sit on the sofa and soak up the sun. Parking was free, which was very convenient.FromUS$23

I went out with my friends. Although the room was not big, it was clean and tidy overall. When checking in, Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma were very gentle and professional. Their attitude was very good, which added points to the hotel! The breakfast was OK. There was a little mistake in the afternoon tea, but they delivered it to me quickly afterwards.

After dinner, I walked back to the hotel. My hair got wet from the rain, and my pant legs were soaked. My thermal leggings felt damp and a bit uncomfortable on my legs. I wanted to take a warm shower, but even after letting the water run for 10 minutes, it never got hot. Luckily, I was worried about catching a cold so I didn't actually wash my hair, but my legs and feet got wet and felt even colder. It seemed like I didn't get warm at all, but rather colder. Aside from the shower not working properly, everything else was good!FromUS$16
