Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

There is one domestic terminal. After security, the first-class lounge is about 50 metres to the right, near gate 5.
Cotti Coffee faces gate 5. Dicos faces gate 9. Zhoushan Xiaochi is in the airside departures area. Liang'an Coffee is outside security on the departures level. Baibusha is on the arrivals level.
Xiangyun VIP sits north of the domestic terminal. Cars use its own landside parking. An airside corridor joins the domestic terminal. Departing passengers are bussed to the stands.
On 24 January 2025 the airport posted a headline that an international and regional dedicated drop-off point was about to open. The article body is not in the page text, so this guide does not describe that layout.
The 30 December 2020 general-aviation facilities page says the transport runway is shared, 2,500 by 45 metres, with one parallel taxiway and six connectors. It lists 13 Code C stands, one Code D stand, and four Code B general-aviation stands for wingspan under 20 metres, plus three hangars rented by CITIC Offshore Helicopter, China General Aviation, and Zhoushan Haifeng. The 15 April 2026 chart does not restate those stand counts. Treat the counts as 2020 figures.
Aerodrome reference point on the chart effective 15 April 2026 at 1600: N29°56.1′ E122°21.8′. Elevation 1.8 m. Runway 18/36 concrete, PCR 640/R/B/W/T. Threshold 36 is displaced 100 m inward. The plate prints localizer 110.5 IZS with glideslope 330.35, and localizer 108.75 IPT, with a second glideslope figure reading 329.6. Both ends are marked PALS CAT I, with sequenced flashing lights, PAPI, edge lights, centreline lights, and runway-end lights. Tower is 118.05, with 124.35 also printed. Declared distances are not copied here because the plate text did not yield a clean TORA or LDA line.

Editorial guide tricks

The markdown guide's highest-signal tactics before the data-backed tips below.

From Best Airport Tricks & Hacks

With no checked bag, use the blue self-service desks for a seat and a boarding pass, then join the security queue. Bags still go to the staffed counter, and the airport asks you to check only your own.
Read the terminal clock, not the phrase "self-service desks all day." The same page says the building is closed at night.
The last listed bus from the airport to Wugongzhi pier (the Putuoshan pier) is 18:15. Departures run every 30 minutes from 7:15. The pier back toward the airport runs 7:30–18:30. The fare on the page is CNY 7, and extra trips are added when flights are busy. The page timestamp is 24 December 2020.
A later landing means a taxi. The only published flat fare is CNY 20 per car to Cihang Square, on a notice dated 15 August 2018 that is still posted. Everywhere else is metered. Complaints go to 12345 or 12328.
The bus to Putuo Passenger Center (Chengbei coach station) leaves the airport at 10:30, 16:20, and 20:20 and costs CNY 10. Return times are not on that page.
Bus 225 is the local route: first 06:00, last 18:00, about every 15 minutes, about 50 trips. It starts at the Zhujiajian bus hub, stops at arrivals door 1, then Donggang, Putuo Passenger Center, and Dinghai. The 11 December 2020 page does not print a fare.
The Civil Aviation Hotel is opposite the terminal. The 30 December 2020 page gives +86-580-6207788 and says it is about a 5-minute drive to Wugongzhi parking and about 10 minutes to the Banshengdong ferry. No room rate is published.
Do not arrive the night before unless you have a bed off the airport. The terminal does not keep passengers overnight.

01

SecurityTraveler Tips & Hacks

Clear check-in 30 minutes out

The counters stop 30 minutes before departure and the gate closes at 15 minutes.

Arrive inside the two-hour window before the first flight of the day. Staffed desks open 90 minutes before that flight.

02

TransportTraveler Tips & Hacks

Do not miss the 18:15 pier bus

The last listed airport bus to Wugongzhi pier leaves at 18:15 and costs CNY 7.

Bus 225's last trip is 18:00. Later passengers are on a taxi. The CNY 20 Cihang Square fare is from a 15 August 2018 notice.

Watch-out

Ride times are not published.

03

FoodTraveler Tips & Hacks

Pack seafood only as checked cargo

Fresh seafood is not allowed in the cabin.

A small checked amount needs multilayer sealed packaging and no loose ice. Dry sealed seafood with no smell is the item the security page allows in the cabin, within the airline weight rule.

04

LoungeTraveler Tips & Hacks

Use the first-class room only if the ticket includes it

It sits near gate 5 after security and does not publish a walk-up price.

Xiangyun VIP, north of the terminal, is a separate appointment. Call 0580-6260719 or 0580-6260810 at least three hours before departure. No public price is printed.
