Guilin Liangjiang International Airport

Guilin, China · Asia-Pacific

Guilin's T2-only 4E tourist field is an easy single-hall domestic hop with a real 米粉 street and a meal-window CIP — the tradeoff is a 26 km road-only city run, T1/T3/second-runway leftover not flying, and a snack-grade international lounge.
