Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Treat 35 minutes as the published close

Airport notice leftover from 1 Jun 2025 cut desks from 40 minutes to 35. Gate leftover is 15 minutes.

Boarding-pass leftover starts 6 hours out / bags 3 hours, except early flights before 08:00 (1.5-hour start) and Spring / 9 Air (2-hour start). Self bag-drop leftover skips Spring / 9 Air.

Terminals

There is one live hall. T2 photos are leftover-wrong as a passenger map

T1 is the only check-in building on 19 Sep 2026. T2 leftover completed May 2026 with an October 2026 opening leftover.

A pier leftover Gates 1–9 / A01. B pier leftover Gate B11. International leftover is cargo-only. Rail leftover is a 500 m walk from 1A / 1B, not under T1.

Food

Walk 金悦真点心 or 粤港茶餐厅; dawn banks use 杨裕兴

Named official kitchens leftover 金悦真点心 (B security), 新悦&菊樱 (2F east, 06:30–22:30), Luckin A04 / B11, Starbucks SD022 (07:00–22:30).

DragonPass leftover 杨裕兴 is landside next to A security (06:00–22:00). No official fountain map. Empty the bottle at security, then buy on the far side.

Visa

No 240-hour TWOV. No passenger immigration hall

ZUH is not a named 240-hour port. Guangdong airport leftover is CAN / SZX / SWA. Skip-immigration leftover is not here.

The live international product is a temporary cargo port from 20 Aug 2025. T2 leftover will add a passenger immigration box — it is not open. HKG / MFM are different airports.

Honest verdict

Rail leftover is a 500 m walk via 1A / 1B, not under T1
CZ lounge leftover refuses a non-CZ boarding pass even with Priority Pass
