Taiyuan Wusu International Airport

Taiyuan, China · Asia-Pacific

Shanxi's regional hub is a fast two-hall domestic machine with live Metro Line 1 since February 2025 — the tradeoff is a T1/T2 airline split, a snack-grade Gate 203 Priority Pass pin, a single live runway while the old strip is rebuilt, and a 35-minute cutoff you should not copy onto a Hong Kong sector.

Terminal 1domestic airside

T1 airside, 2F, leftover near Gate 101 / DragonPass leftover turn right after security. PP leftover unlimited stay, one child under 12 free, alcohol. This is the Hainan-metal room, not a T2 product. Skip it on China Eastern — those flights check in at T2 A.

Terminal 2domestic airside

T2 airside, 2F, leftover near the Fast Track / 15 m left of the business-class security door. PP leftover MU / FM / KN / SkyTeam domestic only, 2-hour stay, no boarding calls.

First Class Lounge (T2 international)

Terminal 2international airside

T2 international airside, 2F, leftover next to duty-free / DragonPass leftover near Gate 18. PP leftover is a 17:45–23:55 window with soft drinks and a 3-hour stay — useless for a morning sector. International traffic is under 0.3% of the field. Confirm the desk is actually open before you clear, and do not treat this as an all-day TWOV room.

Access: Priority Pass · DragonPass

Hours: Priority Pass leftover 17:45–23:55

Amenities: Soft drinks leftover on the PP card · Newspapers leftover on the PP card · Flight information leftover on the PP card · Digital card accepted · Air conditioning

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

China Eastern V2 (PP tyn5) is the honest T2 drink: leftover near Fast Track / 15 m left of business-class security, MU / FM / KN / SkyTeam domestic only, 2-hour stay, complimentary alcohol and shoe shine on the PP card. Plaza Premium leftover 04:30 until last departure; PP leftover last entry 18:30 on the MU card. Worth it on those metals. DragonPass leftover is MU / FM only. Skip it on Hainan / Air China / Shenzhen — those flights are T1.
T2 Gate 203 First Class (PP tyn2 / DragonPass 头等、公务舱休息室, 4.0/69) leftover opposite Gate 203, 06:30–22:00, 3-hour stay, cold buffet, extra payment. Depends. This is the unrestricted PP pin after T2 domestic security.
T2 international First Class (PP tyn1 / DragonPass Gate 18 duty-free) leftover 17:45–23:55, soft drinks, 3-hour stay. Depends, and only for an evening international sector. Morning Hong Kong / Macau flights will find a closed door.
T1 Gate 105 First Class (PP tyn / DragonPass left 100 m near 104–105) leftover 06:30–22:00, 3-hour stay, play area, massage chairs, extra payment. Depends on Air China / Shenzhen / Shandong metal.
HNA Club (PP tyn4 / DragonPass 海航海翼轩) leftover Gate 101, 05:00–23:55 (Tuesday leftover 04:45), unlimited stay, alcohol, one child under 12 free. Worth it on Hainan-group metal from T1 counters 1–6. Not a T2 product.
DragonPass leftover also prints 东航V1, 5 m opposite T2 business-class security, MU / FM metal only, not on Priority Pass. Named kitchen leftover 李先生牛肉面大王 06:00–22:00.
Wi-Fi leftover is the airport SSID; lounge cards also list it inside the paid rooms. Family leftover: T1 nursing room opposite Gate 105; T2 leftover opposite domestic security lane 1. Ask 0351-96566 rather than inventing a play area in T2.
