Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport

机About this airport

Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport is the primary gateway to Guizhou province, one of China's most rapidly developing tourist destinations. Guizhou's combination of dramatic karst landscape, spectacular waterfalls, rich ethnic minority cultures (Miao, Dong, Buyi, Tujia and others), and accessible rail/road connections has driven significant growth in domestic tourism, and the province is increasingly on international itineraries.

The airport handles substantial domestic and international traffic. International routes connect to Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and some European destinations [VERIFY: current routes — May 2026]. Domestic connections are comprehensive — Guiyang's central position in the Guizhou transport network makes it easy to distribute from here to all provincial attractions.

From Guiyang, high-speed rail reaches Anshun (Huangguoshu Falls) in approximately 30 minutes; Kaili (Miao minority gateway) in approximately 40 minutes; Zhenyuan ancient town in approximately 2 hours; and Tongren (Fanjingshan gateway) in approximately 1.5 hours. This rail network has transformed Guizhou's tourist accessibility.

Guiyang city itself has a pleasant old district, a growing food scene (Guizhou's sour soup and spicy dishes are distinctive and excellent), and the Guizhou Provincial Museum with its extensive collection of ethnic minority artefacts. The Qingyan ancient town, 30 km south, is a well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty fortress town.

The airport's metro connection to Guiyang North railway station means arrivals can transfer directly to the provincial rail network, making Guiyang one of the most efficiently navigable provincial capitals in China.
