Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, Military air base in Jianqiao Subdistrict, China.
Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport is an airfield located in the Jianqiao Subdistrict northeast of Hangzhou's city center. The facility operates a single asphalt runway and remains under military control by the People's Liberation Army Air Force, with civilian services having relocated to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.
The airport was established in 1931 as a combined military base and civilian transportation center. Commercial operations ceased in December 2000 when passenger traffic moved to the newly developed Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.
The site is protected as a Major Historical and Cultural Site at the national level, reflecting its importance in China's early aviation development. Visitors can see how this location shaped the country's approach to modern transportation infrastructure.
The airport remains under military control and is not open for public visits. Visitors interested in aviation history can learn more by exploring nearby transportation museums or researching the area's development during key periods of Chinese modernization.
The facility underwent major expansion in 1971 specifically to prepare for an anticipated visit by United States President Richard Nixon. This infrastructure investment reflected China's growing confidence in international diplomatic engagement during that era.
