Huaihua, China
Huaihua Zhijiang Airport (IATA: HJJ, ICAO: ZGCJ) is a domestic civil airport serving Huaihua, a prefecture-level city in western Hunan Province, China. The airport takes its name from Zhijiang Dong Autonomous County, the district where it is located, and provides air connectivity for a region that includes significant ethnic minority populations and historical sites. The airport primarily handles domestic routes connecting Huaihua to major Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, operated by Chinese carriers. It serves as an important transport link for a mountainous area where road and rail travel can be time-consuming. Zhijiang is historically notable as the site where Japanese forces surrendered to Chinese Allied forces in 1945, and the airport region reflects this wartime heritage. The airport supports both tourism and business travel in the broader western Hunan area.
