Domestic close is 30 minutes
Since 27 October 2024 the airport closes domestic check-in and bag drop 30 minutes before scheduled departure. The gate still closes 15 minutes before.
Do not navigate to Baitabu
Passengers use the single Huaguoshan terminal in Guanyun County. The old Baitabu coordinates and the Baitabu name are the former joint-use field.
Wonton and coffee
DragonPass names Lucky Wonton and Dio Coffee in the main terminal. This is not a large food hall.
HIA · One T1 hall 22 km from downtown: a 30-minute domestic cut, live Priority Pass, a leftover 733 bus, and no 240-hour TWOV at this port.
LYG · A single 2021 civil terminal that replaced the old joint-use field, with a ¥20 city bus, a cheap capped car park, and one DragonPass snack lounge. The international zone is real, but this is not a 240-hour visa-free transit airport and a foreign departure still has to be confirmed on a live ticket.
