Metro Line 1 does not yet serve the airport directly, so it’s less convenient, though connecting bus routes exist. Driving and short‑term parking are available, but given the short distance and frequent traffic, most travelers opt for a taxi or the express bus.", "toolsUsed": ["article_lookup"], "references": [{"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen_Gaoqi_International_Airport", "title": "Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-19T07:21:09Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen%20Metro", "title": "Xiamen Metro", "time_published": "2026-02-23T20:13:01Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen%20Gaoqi%20International%20Airport", "title": "Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport", "time_published": "2026-04-27T17:11:30Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen%20Xiang'an%20International%20Airport", "title": "Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-07T23:49:01Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen_Xiang%27an_International_Airport", "title": "Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-21T21:33:42Z"}]}}}}
