Hourui metro station of Luobao line is closest to the airport. Upon getting there, you can transfer to a shuttle bus to the terminal building.

is airport east different from baoan international airport?thanks so much irish! i appreciate your time in answering my questions.

The Airport East station is connected to Bao'an Airport before. Since the opening of the new terminal building in 2013, it is not the best choice to the airport by metro any more. The airport arrange shuttle buses between the new terminal buildings and Hourui station. And the bu number is M416.
