Small regional airport serving the Yantai peninsula coast.

Location
Yantai, China
Penglai Shahekou Airport (IATA: PNJ) is a regional airport located in Penglai, near the city of Yantai in Shandong Province, China. It serves as a supplementary air gateway for the Yantai area, complementing the larger Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT) which opened in 2015. The airport has historically handled limited domestic regional traffic. With the opening of the newer and larger Yantai Penglai International Airport, much of the commercial aviation activity in the region shifted to that facility, reducing the role of Shahekou Airport in passenger operations.

Passengers are advised to explore Penglai city center for local Shandong cuisine, including fresh seafood and traditional braised dishes. Yantai's wine region nearby also offers opportunities to sample local vintages at restaurants and wineries.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your departure terminal in advance, as Yantai is also served by the larger Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT).
  • Download the Didi app before arrival as English-language taxi communication can be challenging in smaller Penglai districts.
  • Carry sufficient Chinese yuan (CNY) cash, as smaller local transport operators may not accept international cards.
  • Allow extra time if visiting Penglai Pavilion scenic area on the same day as your flight, as traffic can build during peak tourist seasons.
