Location
Shennongjia, China
Shennongjia Hongping Airport (IATA: HPG, ICAO: ZHSN) is a small regional airport serving the Shennongjia Forestry District in Hubei Province, China. It provides air access to one of China's most ecologically significant protected areas, known for its dense forests, biodiversity, and cultural legends surrounding the Yeren (Wildman). The airport sits at a relatively high elevation amid mountainous terrain, making it one of the more technically challenging airports to operate in central China. It primarily handles turboprop and smaller jet aircraft due to runway and altitude constraints. Flights connect Shennongjia to major Chinese cities including Wuhan, facilitating tourism to the UNESCO-listed Shennongjia National Park. Passenger volumes remain modest given the remote and rural nature of the surrounding region.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building designed to handle the limited passenger traffic generated by regional tourism.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options include taxis and shuttle buses connecting the airport to Shennongjia town and nearby scenic areas.
