For shorter stops, you can relax in quiet seating areas, enjoy indoor gardens, explore art installations, or refresh with a shower or spa treatment in selected facilities. For longer layovers, you may have time to join an official transit tour or visit more of the airport s attractions, such as themed gardens, play zones, and viewing decks, while remaining airside for a smooth connection. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait it is an integral part of your journey.

China follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) without daylight saving, so cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu share the same time all year. Italy uses Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. This means Rome and Milan are normally 7 hours behind China during Italy s winter months, and 6 hours behind during Italy s summer daylight saving period.
