Location
Hanzhong, China
Hanzhong Chenggu Airport (IATA: HZG, ICAO: ZLHZ) is a civil airport serving Hanzhong, a prefecture-level city in southern Shaanxi Province, China. Located in Chenggu County, the airport connects this historically significant city — once the base of the Han Dynasty founder Liu Bang — to major Chinese hubs. The airport handles a modest volume of domestic traffic, primarily linking Hanzhong to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Xi'an. It plays an important role in regional connectivity given Hanzhong's geographic isolation by the Qinling and Daba mountain ranges. Hanzhong is known for its giant panda nature reserves, rapeseed flower fields, and Han Dynasty cultural heritage, making the airport a point of entry for both leisure and business travelers to this relatively remote region.

Dining

The terminal offers limited food and beverage options including a small café and snack counters serving basic Chinese fare. Passengers are advised to eat before arriving, as dining variety inside is minimal. A wider selection of local Shaanxi cuisine, including rice noodles and braised pork dishes, is available in Chenggu town and central Hanzhong.

Traveller Tips
  • Arrive early as security queues can be unpredictable for small regional airports in China.
  • Have your ID card or passport readily accessible; domestic flights in China require identity verification at multiple checkpoints.
  • Download the DiDi app before travel as it is the most reliable ride option from the airport to the city.
  • Hanzhong's rapeseed flower fields bloom spectacularly in spring — book accommodation well in advance during that season.

Hanzhong Chenggu Airport
Encyclopaedia

Hanzhong Chenggu Airport, or Chenggu Air Base, is a dual-use military and civil airport serving the city of Hanzhong in Shaanxi province, China. Located in Chenggu County northeast of Hanzhong, it was initially established as a military airport in 1994, before opening as a dual-use airport in 2014, replacing the old Hanzhong Xiguan Airport, which could not be expanded due to its proximity to the city center.
