Incidentally, San Yuan Qiao Stn. does not have the same problem.
Now that I think more about this, since you're flying into T3 -- which adds an extra ~8 mins onto your train journey, I strongly advise you to grab a taxi.

@VV: Your Sunday mid-day arrival means a bit less than normal traffic on the roadways, so I agree with Moondog--if you are flying into T3, I'd just do the taxi. Or if you are trying to be thrifty (a stay at the Grand Hotel notwithstanding
), take the Airport Bus as I described above and then taxi the final less-than-one-mile.
