Prepare your Shantou journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport (SWA) or Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Shantou hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Check the complete route between stops: The geographic references put Xiamen (about 190 km) and Huizhou (about 233 km) from Shantou in a straight line. Use those destination guides to collect the actual entrances and required arrival times. Road distance, access and any non-road connection need checking against the complete itinerary, rather than these map measurements.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
Check the station building as well as the station name
Shantou’s municipal government announced the opening of the new first-phase station building in September 2024. Older pickup notes can therefore refer to a previous station layout. Use the ticketed station’s complete name and ask for current exit and vehicle boarding instructions. The city’s transport directory separately lists Shantou railway station, Chaoshan high-speed station and Jieyang Chaoshan Airport; these should be separate entries when passengers arrive through different hubs.
Use the China transport guide for a wider itinerary, or include your flight and final address in an airport group-transfer enquiry.

Your Shantou transport questions
Can we reuse an old Shantou railway-station meeting point?
Reconfirm it. A new station building opened in 2024, and Shantou station is also separate from Chaoshan high-speed station. Use the current ticket and agreed exit.
What is the distance between SWA and Shantou?
The airport and destination map references are approximately 28 km apart in a straight line. A road journey can differ substantially. Provide the actual address in Shantou; the map distance is not a promise of transfer time or fare.
Where will our group meet the vehicle at SWA?
The meeting arrangement for Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport (SWA) must be confirmed with the booking. Do not assume a coach can collect at any terminal door. Give the flight and terminal details, and keep the lead passenger contact available for the agreed collection instructions.
Can we continue from Shantou to Xiamen?
Include the next stop in Xiamen and its address in the initial brief. State whether it is a short visit, an overnight stay or the final destination; those are different vehicle and driver requirements.
What luggage information is needed for a Shantou arrival?
Give the total suitcases as well as passengers, plus any oversized cases, sports equipment, pushchairs or mobility aids. A group arriving at SWA needs enough luggage capacity for the whole journey; seat count alone does not confirm that capacity.
