Beijing Capital International Airport International flights arrive at terminals 2 and 3.
There are ATMs in both terminals, as well as moneychangers and information desks with
English-speaking staff. You can also buy local SIM cards, pick up a temporary drivers li-
cense (at terminal 3) and hire a car. The Airport Express and Airport Shuttle buses leave
from both terminals. Queues for taxis can be long, especially at terminal 3, but do not be
tempted to take an illegal taxi.
