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 15 km (9 mi) 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 90 km (56 mi) to the north and Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport about 270 km (170 mi) 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 (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.
As of December 2012, the new Harbin–Dalian High-Speed Railway serves Anshan West Railway Station and Haicheng West Railway Station.
It connects south to Dalian and north east to Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin.
This line was hailed as the world's first alpine high-speed rail line.
In summer it runs at its full speed of 300 km/h but in winter speeds are restricted to 200 km/h.
High-speed services also run via Anshan to Beijing.
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 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.
