    Live passenger campus on 20 Sep 2026 is one 2022 hall. Official leftover
    opened 24 Mar 2022 00:00 and closed the old Xiashan / Potou passenger
    product that night (city leftover / Wikipedia leftover). Official leftover
    6.18万 m² / 30 stands (17 contact + 13 remote; 19 published bridges leftover
    include 2 composite, so 17 actual). 1F leftover remote hold + domestic bag
    hall + arrivals + international arrivals. 2F leftover check-in, domestic
    security, international departure checks, and both departure holds. There is
    no live T2. Wikipedia leftover 10万 m² / 1,703 parking is
    leftover-conflicting with official leftover 17.8万 m² / 1,667 spaces (1,115
    traveler). Sit official.
  - >-
    One live 4E runway leftover 15/33 3,200 × 45 m plus a matching parallel
    taxiway. Official leftover can take B777 / A330 / B787. Elevation leftover
    Airmate 139 ft / 42 m at the same ARP as Wikipedia EN 21°28′54″N
    110°35′25″E; EAIP leftover 20.5 m is leftover-conflicting — sit 42 m.
    Operator leftover 广东省机场管理集团有限公司湛江机场公司. Inquiry leftover 0759-8210000 /
    complaint 0759-8210020 / parking 0759-8210309. Official leftover

    CAAC calendar 2025 leftover Wikipedia xlsx: 3,122,262 passengers (−3.0% from
    Wikidata leftover 2024 3,218,648), 29,068 movements, 11,617.5 t cargo. 163
    leftover 312.23 万人次 matches that rounding band. Company leftover 312.2 万人次 /
    29,068 / 11,618.3 t (+24.9% cargo) is leftover-conflicting on cargo by 0.8 t
    — sit the Wikipedia CAAC table. CAAC Chinese leftover 湛江/吴川. After YIH #58
    and skipped MIG #60 (Air Force property, not a 一类口岸), this is the next
    formal civilian international. No published 放行正常率 — profile onTimePercentage
    0.

    lib/airports.json leftover Zhanjiang Airport at 21.214574, 110.359978 is the
    closed Xiashan / Potou field, not this runway. Stored leftover 21.48167,
    110.59028, Asia/Shanghai. This is a civilian public international, not an
    airbase skip. Do not merge leftover Xiashan / Potou / ZUH / SWA / CAN.
  - >-
    No metro. No live airport rail. Wikipedia leftover “station serving the
    terminal” is leftover-wrong. 广湛高铁 leftover opened 22 Dec 2025 at 吴川站 ~13 km
    away, not under the hall. Cheapest leftover is the 机场快线 ¥35 / ~50 min to 赤坎
    / 霞山 (airport-bus leftover 2025 table). Early leftover 05:30 早班无忧 from 霞山中南
    / 赤坎海田, ~40 min, ¥10 off with a boarding pass. Taxi leftover 起步 ¥7 / 2 km

  - >-
    240-hour TWOV is NOT at ZHA. NIA / Shenzhen leftover 60-to-65 port lists
    print 广州白云 / 深圳宝安 / 揭阳潮汕 only for Guangdong airports. Stay leftover if you
    enter elsewhere is Guangdong-wide. 24-hour sterile TWOV IS at this open
    port. 24-hour skip-immigration is NOT (that add-on ten from 5 Nov 2025 is
    TSN / DLC / NKG / FOC / TAO / WUH / NNG / HAK / CKG / KMG). Live
    international leftover 20 Sep 2026 is Lao Airlines QV863/864 VTE Tue/Thu/Sat
    from 23 Dec 2025. Summer-2026 leftover “争取” Vietnam / Malaysia / Singapore /
    Cambodia is leftover-not-live. Do not copy leftover Hong Kong / Bangkok as a
    September bank.
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Airport-bus leftover dies at 30 minutes domestic — sit that table
    detail: >-
      CSAIR leftover generic 30 / 45 / 60 copy is not a ZHA-specific table.
      International leftover QV VTE still wants a 45-minute habit until the
      airport reprints an international desk. There is no leftover CLEAR / TSA
      PreCheck product. Liquids leftover follow CAAC 100 ml.
    summary: >-

    summary: >-
      Every live domestic leftover uses the same 2F check-in island.
      International leftover is the same building's 2F departure check, not a
      numbered T2.

      wall. Buy a sealed bottle on the 2F shop strip if you do not hold a card.

      / Cambodia as September metal.

      DragonPass leftover 两舱休息室 and the airline CIP are the floating-island
      room, not the Gate 19 snack lounge. FLYERT leftover May 2025: 盒饭 tray,
      kids area, smoking room, showers beside the toilets. Priority Pass
      leftover does not list this pin — PP leftover is Seasons Prestige at Gate
      19. DragonPass leftover T1 / Potou naming is leftover-stale.

# Zhanjiang Wuchuan International Airport (ZHA)
Zhanjiang, China · Asia-Pacific
Zhanjiang's 2022 4E hall is an easy single-island hop with a meal-window CIP and showers — the tradeoff is a ¥35 / 35 km bus, snack-only Priority Pass, and a 240-hour TWOV stamp that this port does not issue.
## Airportist Score

**7.2 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 7.6 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.4 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 7.0 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 7.4 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 6.6 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 7.0 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 3,122,262 (CAAC 2025)
- Terminals: One 2022 hall (no T2; one 4E runway; no metro; no airport HSR)
- Typical security: 12 min
- On-time: 0%
- Disruption: normal

## Best for

- Domestic hops into western Guangdong on one 2022 check-in island ~35 km from downtown
- A leftover ¥35 机场快线 to 赤坎 / 霞山, or a metered taxi if you are not hunting metro or airport HSR
- A meal-window 盒饭 / shower sit when you already hold DragonPass or a listed F/J card
- A thin VTE bank on Tue/Thu/Sat, not a 240-hour TWOV walk

## Watch out for

- T2 / metro / airport-HSR / 240-hour TWOV / skip-immigration leftover are not live — one 3,200 m 4E strip and one 2022 hall are the passenger product
- PP leftover Seasons Prestige is Gate 19 snacks, not the floating-island 两舱 CIP; DragonPass leftover T1 / Potou naming is leftover-stale
- lib/airports.json leftover 21.214574, 110.359978 and leftover Wikipedia airport-rail copy drop you on closed Xiashan or a 13 km 吴川站 hop
- Live international leftover is QV VTE three-weekly — do not copy leftover Hong Kong / Bangkok or leftover 2026 Vietnam / Malaysia / Singapore / Cambodia as a September bank
