China's most remote 2 airports are 70 kilometers away from the city, more than an hour's drive
China is a vast country with many international airports. Civil aviation airports are the main transportation channels connecting domestic and foreign countries, and have always been the main mode of transportation for passengers.
However, two of China's international airports have attracted attention due to their remoteness. Zhongchuan in Lanzhou and Tianfu in Chengdu. From the city center to the city center, it is more than 70 kilometers away, and it can be reached by car in more than an hour. The article provides a detailed account of these two remote international airports and the cities in which they are located.
First of all, let's go to see Lanzhou Zhongchuan together. It's a very interesting place.
Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, Zhongchuan Town, Yongdeng County, Gansu Province, is an important aviation hub and an important transportation hub in northwest China. In 197, the airport was officially put into use, and after several expansions, the current Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 cover an area of 90,000 square meters. However, Zhongchuan International Airport is located far from the city center, about 75 kilometers from the city center.
Before there was no high-speed rail, it was very inconvenient to take a bus to the airport for more than 2 hours. Now, thanks to the opening of high-speed rail, getting to the airport is fast, greatly reducing the travel time.
Lanzhou is a large city in western China, both economically and historically, it is a very distinctive city. Lanzhou has a long history, and its city has been around for more than 2,000 years. Since ancient times, Lanzhou has been an important transportation channel of "four major regions and thousands of miles". Today, Lanzhou, with its large number of enterprises and a large number of industrial parks, has formed a major industrial base throughout the country.
At the same time, Lanzhou is also a tourist destination, with Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge, Baita Mountain, Lanzhou Danxia Scenic Area, Yellow River Tower, Gansu Provincial Museum, Xinglong Mountain, Wuquan Mountain. This series of tourist resorts has provided strong support for Lanzhou's tourism development.
Let's take a look at Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu.
It is located in Jianyang County, Chengdu, Sichuan, and is a high-level international airport on the "Silk Road". The project, consisting of two terminals with a total area of 719,600 square meters, was put into use in 2021. However, it is also more than 70 kilometers from here to the city center.
It takes more than half an hour to drive from the city to the airport, and it can take a while to take the train. In remote areas such as Pidu, Wenjiang, Dujiangyan, Pengzhou and Qionglai in the west, it takes more time to get from here to the airport, usually more than 2 hours. It takes 2 hours to get from here to Longquan and from here to the airport. Therefore, some passengers choose to go to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, and the cost will be higher.
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province, and it occupies a pivotal place in the history of China's development. Chengdu is known as the "Land of Abundance", it is a veritable "land of fish and rice", and a large number of tourists come every year. Chengdu has well-known tourist attractions such as Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli Ancient Street, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage and so on. In addition, Chengdu cuisine is also very distinctive, such as hot pot, skewers, rabbit heads, etc., which will make you stay here for a long time.
Although Tianfu International Airport is now far from the city center, this problem will change in the future as Chengdu continues to develop and improve. At present, Chengdu is committed to the construction of the western region, and its core area is Tianfu International Airport. In the near future, with the development and development of Chengdu Economic Zone, Chengdu International Airport will be a transportation center with close ties with domestic and foreign countries. In addition, since there are many bus lines in the country, the time required to get from here to the airport will gradually decrease.
Lanzhou Zhongchuan and Chengdu Tianfu are currently the two most remote international airports in China. These places are far from the city and are inconvenient for tourists. However, this has not changed their impact on regional economic development and tourism functions. In the future, with the development of the city and the improvement of transportation.
