The very short construction time was marred by two separate incidents. The first occurred on January 3, 2010, when seven construction workers died as an incomplete overpass collapsed.[3] On June 28, 2011, 11 workers were injured when a tunnel that was under construction collapsed.[4] Construction of the airport's main terminal was completed by July 2011

Nice flight

We had a family trip today from Nanchang, China to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Our flight from Nanchang to Bangladesh via China Eastern Airlines (MU5469 and MU2035) faced a 40-minute delay, leaving only a 50-minute transfer window. This caused anxiety about missing the connection. Trip.com’s customer service promptly assisted, guiding us efficiently. China Eastern Airlines’ crew and ground staff also supported us warmly, prioritizing our boarding despite the tight schedule. Their teamwork ensured we boarded MU2035 on time. Thanks to their combined efforts, we arrived safely in Bangladesh. The experience underscored how proactive communication and staff cooperation can resolve travel disruptions smoothly. We appreciate Trip.com’s responsiveness and the airline’s professionalism, turning a stressful delay into a successful journey.

#ChinaTravelMoment Review of Hainan Airlines from Shenzhen to Comeback. The plane was not big and although the in-flight meal was not tasty, the staff was very friendly Yunnan Kunming GuanduDabanqiao Residential District Changshui Community Changshui International Airport

#ChinaTravelMoment I can't forget the in-flight meal I had the first time I rode Hainan Airlines. It was like chicken rice bowl, and the yellow color made me think there was turmeric, but it was a strange taste that I had never tasted before, so I took a bite and put it down. I couldn't even guess what style of food it was. Maybe it was Kunming style because it departed from Kunming.

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี Review of Changshui Airport Shuttle, Kunming Entering Kunming city, booking from trip.com Convenient, waiting to pick up at the exit • Flight arrives at 23.55, passed immigration and received luggage at 01.45 • Got a medium-sized car • Can sit 3 people comfortably, 4 people a bit cramped • My bags are 24 inches, just right in the back of the car • Traveling to the city takes about 20 minutes • This service is very convenient and worthwhile for late flights 👍 #เที่ยวมันพาเที่ยว #สนามบินดอน #คุดคุม #เที่ยวมันดอทคอม

I went to Kunming, a city in Yunnan Province, China. When I arrived, I was surprised to see flowers floating in the checked baggage lane. They were being sold by an unmanned person 🌹 And there were flower monuments all over the airport. That's because Kunming is said to be the most beautiful city in China, with warm winters and cool summers, and has many flowers all year round. It is also called the "Spring City" because of its warm climate all year round 🌸 This time, I only stopped in for one night as a transit from Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City, but it has become a city I would like to visit again in the future! The airport itself is quite beautiful, so I recommend a flight via Kunming ☺️ 📍Kunming Changshui International Airport China Yunnan, Kunming, Guandu District, Changshui Village Postcode: 650209 #Let's go to China #Transit #Airport #Kunming #China Travel

Kunming is the Capital City and transportation hub of Southern Yunnan China. It is mainly served as transit city to other Yunnan region like Dali, Lijiang and Shangri La. Day 1 - Arrival at Kunming Changsui International Airport 17:00 We arrived at Kunming Airport around 5pm and by the time we completed the entry processes, it is already sunset. Since we book for eHailing (Didi), we had to go up to Departure Hall as the Arrival Hall only for Taxi and Bus. Then go to the exit of Departure Hall where Didi will be waiting. 19:30 Check In at Ramada Encore by Wyndham Kunming Guandu. We choose this hotel as it was not only nice and clean but it is walking distance to Kunming Railway Station. 20:30 Dinner at Shuncheng Street. This is a halal food haven that surely fulfill the hungry stomach. From bakery, hotpot, barbeque,snack to even grocery, it surely not only will tantalising your taste bud but a place to restock your food for long journey to Lijiang. Day 2 - Next destination i.e. Lijiang 08:00 Upon check out, we decided to walk to Kunming Railway Station. It took about 15minutes walk and we had a wonderful walk passing park and tunnel. Once reached Kunming Railway Station, it was so crowded and we had to find the correct door in the sea of people. 10:40 The journey from Kunming to Lijiang took about 4.5hours by train. 15:15 Once reached Lijiang Railway Station, we managed to capture the glimpse of Yulong Mountain (Might be 😅). Then we took taxi to our stay at Lijiang Ancient City. It is very easy even for a non/ limited chinese speaking tourist like us.#discoverchina #kunming #shuncheng #lijiang

The charm of the east wind of Maitreya dances the notes between heaven and earth; the brocade screen of Lingshan, the Maitreya Buddha, smiles sweetly, saving all living beings; the shore of Taiping Lake, the forest park, the natural oxygen bar, is refreshing!
