A stunning airport surrounded by 65 mountain tops is built on top of a mountain in Hechi in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with its runway so narrow that it looks like a floating aircraft carrier.
Built 677 meters above sea level, the airport can only allow three passenger flights to transit within an hour. And it is reported that the runway, extending 2.2km, is one of the narrowest in the world. Dozens of hilltops were levelled to clear way for the Rmb850-million (around 123 million USD) airport.
The airport will be a transit stop on the sole air route between Chongqing and Haikou in Hainan province. It might also add a flight from Guangzhou in the future, local media reported.
