Changzhou, China · Asia-Pacific
Changzhou's compact 2011 hall is an easy 18 km hop with a ¥19.9 bus, a real meal-window CIP, and 240-hour TWOV — the tradeoff is five gates, an 82% 放行 year, joint-use weather, and a west-side expansion that is still fit-out.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.

Skip it if you already hold PP and Gates 1–2 cover you. DragonPass leftover 接待柜台 at 2F desk 17 is not this hall — that desk walks you to the airside CIP.
