It takes around 50 minutes to get to the city center (Lianglukou).
  Line 10, serves as the second metro line connecting the urban areas of Chongqing and the airport.  One station of Line 10 is at Terminal 3 and the other is at Terminal 2. This line runs under Runways #1 (02L/20R) and #2 (02R/20L), connecting Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 in landside.
