traffic

Hohhot has two train stations, Hohhot train station and Hohhot Ost train station . The city is connected to the Chinese rail network with the Beijing – Baotou railway and the Hohhot-Zhangjiakou high-speed line.

The Hohhot subway went into operation at the end of 2019 with the opening of the first line. An expansion to five lines with a total length of 155 kilometers was approved in 2015 with the aim that public transport would have a share of 50% of total traffic in Hohhot in 2020, and the subway a share of 15%. In 2018, however, the expansion plans were discarded and only two lines will be implemented.

The Beijing – Lhasa and Beijing-Ürümqi motorways , the 110 and 209 national roads connect Hohhot to the trunk road network.

The Hohhot airport connects the region with numerous cities in China and some international destinations. A new airport 30 km from the city will be under construction in early 2020.
