        "question": "How do I get to Taiping Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Harbin Taiping International Airport is about 37 km southwest of downtown Harbin, and the main public-transit option is the Airport Express shuttle bus, which connects the airport to Harbin East Railway Station and other city points. The Harbin Metro's Line 1 serves the general corridor toward the airport but does not directly reach the terminal, so most travelers take a shuttle or taxi. Taxis and ride-hailing (Didi) are widely used and are the fastest door-to-door option, though they cost noticeably more than the bus. Driving is possible with parking available at the airport, but for most visitors the shuttle bus is the most popular balance of cost and convenience.",
