Metro is under T2; T1 is a 160 m landside walk

HGH · A new T4 plus three metro lines under the GTC, paid for with a T3/T4 split, a still-closed T2 leftover trap, landside PP rooms that waste an airside visit, and unpublished annual on-time stats.
NGB · Ningbo’s only real international airport buys you Line 2 under T2 — paid for with a two-hall split, a 22:20 last metro, numbered CIP rooms, and a visa stack that is 240-hour TWOV, not Hangzhou’s skip-immigration product.
