ZUH · Zhuhai’s only real passenger airport buys you a 500-metre walk to a ¥26 intercity train — paid for with a still-closed T2, no passenger immigration hall, and a visa stack that is neither 240-hour TWOV nor skip-immigration.
MFM · A single compact Taipa terminal with a real light-rail stop at the north exit and a usable paid lounge, offset by airline-specific check-in rules, kitchens that close before the overnight departures, and a reclamation project that CAM says will include night flight suspensions from late 2026.
