quickFacts:
  - >-
    CAAC 2025 (Huaon reprint of the 26 Feb 2026 ranking): 24,650,717 passengers
    (national #22, +3.6%), 162,548 movements (#24, +1.6%), 149,257.8 t cargo
    (#28, +6.1%). Company leftover 2,465.1 万人次 / 16.2 万架次 / 14.9 万吨 matches
    those CAAC cells. Company leftover international 588,000 (+22.7%) is the
    combined international + regional number; Huaon splits 565,200 international
    and 22,500 Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan. Do not mix Wikipedia leftover 2024
    23,798,000-class reprints as 2025.
  - >-
    Live passenger halls on 19 Sep 2026 are T2 domestic (opened 30 Apr 2018,
    leftover ~162,500 m², islands A / B / C / E) plus T1 international (moved
    from T0 at 19:00 on 11 Jul 2024; leftover ~47,000 m² international zone).
    International departing leftover still enter T2 2F door 10; meeters leftover
    wait at T2 1F door 9. T0 is not a public hall. T3 leftover 2030 master plan
    is not live. T4 is not live.
  - >-
    Official leftover hljairport.com.cn (Heilongjiang Airport Group / Capital
    Airports). Hotline leftover 0451-96368 — 24-hour human from 26 Jan 2026.
    ICAO ZYHB. Do not invent /airports/zyhb. Do not merge SHE, CGQ, DLC, MDG,
    NDG, JGD, LDS, DQA, YNJ, closed Majiagou (1979), or leftover Yanjiagang as a
    second field.
  - >-
    Live runways two: 05L/23R 3,200 × 45 m asphalt (east-1) and 05R/23L 3,600 ×
    45 m concrete (east-2, opened 23 Jan 2025 at 09:52 on MU5616, 760 m east of
    east-1). Elevation leftover 139 m. Wikipedia leftover 05L/23R 3,200 is the
    live length — east-2 is the 400 m longer strip. Do not print a leftover
    3,600 m east-1.
bentoTips:
  - label: Terminals
    title: 'T2 for domestic — T1 for international, entered through T2 doors'
    detail: >-
      2018 leftover: T2 islands A (China Southern) and B / C / E (everyone
      else), 80 desks. Confirm the live island board — leftover 2018
      self-service exclusions for Spring / 9 Air / CZ are leftover. T1 still has
      some domestic far gates (DragonPass leftover 愚小面 / 味一楼 at Gate 21). Do not
      taxi to T0 or a 2030 T3 pin.
    summary: >-
      Domestic check-in is T2. All scheduled international flights moved from T0
      into T1 at 19:00 on 11 Jul 2024. International departing leftover still
      walk in at T2 2F door 10; pickups leftover T2 1F door 9. T0 is closed.
    category: terminal
  - label: Timing
    title: Treat 40 minutes as the hard domestic desk close
    detail: >-
      International leftover still processes in the T1 zone after you enter T2
      door 10 — budget the extra walk, not a second curb. Winter ice and
      dual-runway ops both matter here; 96368 is 24-hour human from 26 Jan 2026.
    summary: >-
      Operator leftover from 30 Jun 2023: domestic check-in closes 40 minutes
      before departure (was 45). Bendibao leftover 12 Aug 2025 still prints 40.
      Arrive 2 hours domestic, 3 hours international. Airline apps can close
      earlier — confirm CZ.
    category: timing
  - label: Food
    title: 'Empty the bottle at screening, then eat in the T2 holdroom'
    detail: >-
      Liquids cannot walk the checkpoint. CAAC leftover nationwide 3C power-bank
      ban — carry-on only. CZ leftover serves Harbin 红肠 in the Gate 32 Pearl
      lounge. Do not invent a posted bottle-warmer.
    summary: >-
      No official fountain map. DragonPass leftover pins 老边饺子 opposite Gate 44,
      舌尖尖 opposite Gate 39, and 紫悦东北名小吃 in the T2 airside triangle. T1 leftover
      愚小面 / 味一楼 opposite Gate 21.

  - label: Live checks
    title: TWOV yes — skip-immigration is not Harbin
    detail: >-
      NIA leftover 57 countries / 65 ports as of 20 Aug 2026 (Kyrgyzstan /
      Vietnam added). Clock leftover-prints from 00:00 the next day. A
      same-airport under-24-hour connection still goes through border
      inspection. Do not mix Hainan 30-day visa-free into this field.
    summary: >-
      240-hour TWOV is live at HRB. Heilongjiang stay leftover is Harbin city
      only, not the whole province. 24-hour skip-immigration is the 5 Nov 2025
      add-on ten (TSN / DLC / NKG / FOC / TAO / WUH / NNG / HAK / CKG / KMG) —
      HRB is not on that list.

      DragonPass leftover 老边饺子, 05:00–21:30. Empty the bottle at T2 security,
      then buy here. No official fountain map and no posted airport tariff —
      treat the price as a China-airport typical, not a Harbin price board.

      DragonPass leftover 舌尖尖, 05:00–21:30. Same holdroom as the dumplings —
      useful when Gate 44 is a hike. Confirm the shopfront; leftover restaurant
      lists move.

      DragonPass leftover 愚小面 05:30–21:30 and 味一楼 05:30–last flight, both
      opposite T1 Gate 21. Use this only if you are already on the T1 domestic
      far-gate side — it is not the international zone.

# Harbin Taiping International Airport (HRB)
Harbin, China · Asia-Pacific
Heilongjiang’s busiest airport is a 2018 T2 glued to a 2024 T1 international zone, with a live second runway and no metro — TWOV covers Harbin city only, and skip-immigration does not.
## Airportist Score

**7.1 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 7.4 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 24,650,717 (CAAC 2025)
- Terminals: 2 live passenger halls (T2 domestic + T1 international)
- Typical security: 15 min
- On-time: 0%

## Best for

- China Southern passengers using Gate 32
- 240-hour TWOV arrivals who will stay in Harbin city

- Domestic connections that never need a T0 curb

## Watch out for

- No metro — Line 9 is 2025–2030 planning
- Skip-immigration is not Harbin
- TWOV stay is Harbin city only, not Heilongjiang
- T0 and a 2030 T3 are not public halls
