PLEASE ADVICE US TO TRAVEL FROM BEIJING AIRPORT TO SHIJAZHUANG. AS IN THE MAP IT SHOW THAT TRAVELING TIME IS 3 HRS BUT PLEASE ADVICE THE BEST AND EASY MODE.
There do not seem to be direct bus link between Beijing Airport and Shijiazhuang (there are shuttle buses from the airport to Baoding, but that's only half way to Shijiazhuang). The best thing to do would be first getting to Beijing West Railway Station (Beijing Xi Zhan) in Beijing and then taking a train to go to Shijiazhuang.
To get to Beijing West Railway Station, you can take a shuttle bus at the airport (Line 4?) that goes to Gongzhufen on West Third Beltway. Shuttle buses depart every 15 minutes or so, from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm (maybe as late as 11 pm). Shuttle fare is about ¥16. Gongzhufen is a highway overpass that is about 2 km away from Beijing West Railway Station. You can get a cab there to take you to the railway station. You can also make it easier by taking a cab to go directly from the airport to Beijing West Station, but that will cost you about ¥120, highway toll included. It takes about an hour and a half to get from Beijing Airport to Beijing West. You can also get to Beijing by subway from the airport, but you probably need to change trains twice. If you have luggage with you, it could be a hassle as subway trains can be rather crowded.
At Beijing West Railway Station there are numerous trains that go to Shijiazhuang. If you go by one of the D trains, you can get to Shijiazhuang in 2 h 20 m. If you take some other trains, it will be 3-4 hours. Fares for D trains are ¥85-105, depending on class.
If you do not go by trains, you can take a long distance bus. Liuliqiao Long Distance Bus Station (Liuliqiao Qiche Zhan) is about 3 km south of Gongzhufen. You should be able to find Shijiazhuang-bound buses there. Bus fare is about ¥80 and travel time is 3-4 hours. There should be Shijiazhuang-bound buses at other long distance bus stations in Beijing too, but Liuliqiao is a main station and it is close to the Gongzhufen drop-off spot of the airport shuttle buses. Generally, however, people prefer to going by train over going by bus as the former seems nicer.
If there are a few of you traveling together, renting a car along with a driver is an option, The cost would be probably in the range of ¥1,000-1,500.
