岑村机场, Regional airport in Guangzhou, China
Cencun Airport (岑村机场) is a regional airport located within the urban area of Guangzhou, in Guangdong province, China. It has a runway and terminal facilities serving both passenger and cargo traffic.
The airport opened in the 1980s as a small civilian facility serving the Guangzhou area. Over the following decades, its infrastructure was expanded to handle growing demand for both freight and passenger flights.
The airport takes its name from the nearby village of Cencun, now absorbed into the urban fabric of Guangzhou. Visitors passing through may notice how cargo activity and civilian use coexist side by side, which is common for smaller regional airports in southern China.
The airport sits within Guangzhou city limits, making it reachable by public transport or taxi from the city center. It is worth leaving extra time when visiting, as cargo and passenger areas are separated across the site.
The airport has dedicated cold storage areas for seafood coming from regional fishing and aquaculture operations, a reflection of how important this industry is in the Pearl River Delta. These sections allow fresh marine products to be redistributed quickly across southern China.
