Beijing Nanyuan Airport
15 km south of Beijing center, Beijing Nanyuan Airport is the oldest airport in China, opened in 1910. It was primarily a military airfield but now has developed into an aviation terminal handling 1.2 million passengers per yeas and is the base of China United Airlines. It is located in Fengtai District, closer to downtown Beijing than Beijing Capital International Airport. The airport offers destinations included Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hailar, Sanya, Shanghai-Hongqiao, Lianyungang, Wuxi, etc.
The airport is small with much fewer passengers. The advantages are: you can get more discounted tickets but have to purchase at the airport; generally you are taken directly to the terminal building by the airport shuttle bus or taxi; you don’t have to arrive very early prior your flight departure since the boarding procedure is less complex.
