Two years following the completion of Beijing Daxing International Airport, Chengdu has officially opened its own mega-airport.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport – the second international airport in Sichuan’s capital city – started operations on Sunday morning. Chengdu is now the third city in China home to two international airports, with Beijing and Shanghai as the other two cities.

Similar to Beijing’s Daxing airport, Chengdu Tianfu is located roughly 50 kilometers away from the city center – depending on where you’re trying to go, of course.

A trip from Chengdu Tianfu to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is around 84 kilometers away, according to Google Maps.

According to Sichuan’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the city’s two airports will eventually be connected via Chengdu Metro Line 19 – providing a 30-minute commute.

Sunday’s official opening marked the completion of the project’s first phase, which includes the construction of three runways and two terminals that can handle up to 60 million passengers annually. China Daily reports that long-term plans for the airport terminals will cover 1.4 million square meters and handle 120 million annual passengers.

Chengdu’s two international airports should help the city become a major transportation hub, linking the PRC with Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Europe. However, this may take some time as China’s borders remain closed off to most foreign travelers, and a reduced number of international flights are currently bound for the country.

To think that we were a third world country alongside China is the real explanation of life no balance...

The last picture looked nice.

One can clearly see how the roads were marked in concentric circles... Hallmark of proper planning.

Whereas, my own country is still wasting money building road divider, because its people are too stubborn to use pedestrian bridge

Welcome to the best country in the world

People are always blaming the government, whereas the people themselves are the issue....

Imagine the rail lines, people stealing the rails,
Even the gutters constructed along the rails are filled with garbage..... Even before the completion of the rail....
