==Transportation== [[File:Anshan train station.jpg|thumb|Anshan train station at night]] Anshan has no river or sea port. The nearby military airport, [[Anshan Teng'ao Airport]] (AOG), also accepts commercial domestic flights. Currently there are five routes in operation, Anshan–Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Nanjing, with one flight each per day throughout the year. Anshan Teng'ao Airport is {{convert|15|km|0|abbr=on}} southwest of the city centre. In addition to the small terminal building at the airport, there is also a city terminal situated just off Qianshan Road in Tiexi district. Passengers may buy tickets and check-in at the city terminal, from which they are taken by coach to the main airport terminal. The nearest other major commercial airports are [[Shenyang Taoxian International Airport]] (SHE), about {{convert|90|km|abbr=on}} to the north and [[Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport]] about {{convert|270|km|abbr=on}} to the south. The city is beside the [[Shenyang–Dalian Expressway]] (part of the [[G15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway]]), a privately funded eight-lane tolled highway, and was the first road of its kind in mainland China. The [[Liaozhong Ring Expressway|Liaozhong Ring Expressway (G91)]] passes just a few kilometers north of Anshan city. It connects east to [[Benxi]] and west onto the Jingshen Expressway (G1). The [[Panhai]] and Danxi Expressways (together forming the G16) pass through Anshan's counties of Haicheng and Xiuyan, connecting them to [[Yingkou]] and [[Panjin]] in the west and [[Dandong]] to the east. Anshan is connected to the Chinese rail network with rail routes to [[Beijing]], Dalian, and to the northeastern provinces of [[Jilin]] and [[Heilongjiang]] as well as to eastern [[Inner Mongolia]], and even a direct, albeit slow, train to [[Hong Kong]].

Tai'an county of Anshan is served by another high-speed rail line linking Shenyang to Beijing. Long-distance coaches run to all the main cities of the province as well as to Beijing. Local transportation is primarily by bus or taxi. Anshan used to have a single [[Trams in China|tram line]]—along Zhonghua Avenue, through the city centre and past Angang main gate—but this has been closed and the tracks removed. Due to the flat topography of the city centre, bicycles are popular. Almost all roads have a wide cycle lane on each side. Often this lane is further protected by a traffic island that separates the bikes from larger motor vehicles.
