Huangshan Tunxi International Airport

机About this airport

Huangshan Tunxi International Airport serves the broader Huangshan area of southern Anhui province, named for both Huangshan mountain (the UNESCO-listed natural and cultural heritage site known for its dramatic granite peak scenery) and Tunxi, the urban district that serves as the area's commercial centre. The airport sits near Tunxi, approximately 75 km from the Huangshan scenic area entrance.

Huangshan is one of China's most visited natural heritage sites: a range of 72 named peaks, granite formations, ancient twisted pine trees, hot springs, and the celebrated sea of clouds that forms when mist fills the valleys between peaks, creating the impression of islands floating in cloud. The mountain has inspired Chinese landscape painting for centuries.

Direct flights connect to major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and others [VERIFY: current routes — May 2026]. International routes have operated seasonally [VERIFY: current international schedule — May 2026]. The area is also accessible by high-speed rail to Huangshan City North station (Tunxi) from Shanghai (approximately 2.5 hours) and Hangzhou (approximately 1.5 hours).

The broader area served by the airport includes the Huizhou villages of Hongcun and Xidi (UNESCO), the Jiuhua Mountain sacred Buddhist complex, the Qiyun Mountain Daoist site, and the Yixian County old town (Nanping, Hongcun, Xidi). This concentration of heritage within a 100 km radius makes Huangshan one of the richest heritage tourism zones in eastern China.
