Military and civil airport serving Qinhuangdao's Shanhaiguan district.

Location
Qinhuangdao, China
Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan Airport (ICAO: ZBSH) is a joint-use military and civil aviation facility located in the Shanhaiguan district of Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, China. It serves as a secondary aviation option for the Qinhuangdao region, which is also relatively accessible via nearby larger airports. The airport has historically handled limited commercial traffic, with its military function taking precedence. Civil operations have been modest, reflecting the region's proximity to more developed aviation hubs in northeastern China. Shanhaiguan is historically significant as the eastern terminus of the Great Wall of China, and the airport shares its name with this famous landmark district. Despite its strategic location near key tourist sites, commercial air service at this airport has remained limited.
Terminals
The airport has a basic terminal facility suited to its limited civil commercial operations.
