You need to take a high speed train from Beijing Qinghe Railway Station to Zhangjiakou Station. It takes about 1 hour and costs around CNY 70-90 for a second class seat.

From the airport to Qinghe Station, take Capital Airport Line to Sanyuanqiao and transfer to Metro Line 10 to Zhichun Road. After that, transfer to Metro Line 13 to Qinghe Station. It takes about 70 minutes and costs CNY30.

After arriving in Zhangjiakou Station, take Bus Line 11 to Erwuyi Hospital and walk about 700m to the hotel.
