Metro Line 3 硕放机场站China Eastern V3 after T2 securityShenzhen 尊鹏阁 opposite Gate 14龙味馆 / 茶颜悦色
WUX · Jiangsu's second airport is a live T1/T2 machine with Metro Line 3 at the door — the tradeoff is a 2015 lotus hall rather than a new T3, a snack-grade Priority Pass V1 unless you are on MU or ZH metal, and a joint-use climb where the shades come down.
CZX · Changzhou's compact 2011 hall is an easy 18 km hop with a ¥19.9 bus, a real meal-window CIP, and 240-hour TWOV — the tradeoff is five gates, an 82% 放行 year, joint-use weather, and a west-side expansion that is still fit-out.

Eat 龙味馆 or 茶颜悦色, not the V1 CIP
