Location

Hanzhong, China

Hanzhong Chenggu Airport (IATA: HZG, ICAO: ZLHZ) is a civil airport serving Hanzhong, a prefecture-level city in southern Shaanxi Province, China. Located in Chenggu County, the airport connects this historically significant city — once the base of the Han Dynasty founder Liu Bang — to major Chinese hubs. The airport handles a modest volume of domestic traffic, primarily linking Hanzhong to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Xi'an. It plays an important role in regional connectivity given Hanzhong's geographic isolation by the Qinling and Daba mountain ranges. Hanzhong is known for its giant panda nature reserves, rapeseed flower fields, and Han Dynasty cultural heritage, making the airport a point of entry for both leisure and business travelers to this relatively remote region.

Encyclopaedia

Hanzhong Chenggu Airport, or Chenggu Air Base, is a dual-use military and civil airport serving the city of Hanzhong in Shaanxi province, China. Located in Chenggu County northeast of Hanzhong, it was initially established as a military airport in 1994, before opening as a dual-use airport in 2014, replacing the old Hanzhong Xiguan Airport, which could not be expanded due to its proximity to the city center.
