Dazhou Jinya Airport (DZH) is a state-of-the-art aviation hub in Sichuan Province, China, having officially opened in May 2022 to replace the older Heshi Airport. For travelers connecting through DZH, the most important tip is its position as the largest and most advanced civil airport in the Northeast Sichuan region. The airport is located approximately 11 kilometers (a 15-20 minute drive) from the Dazhou city center. Ground transportation is well-supported by dedicated airport shuttle buses, with Bus Line 303 providing a reliable and inexpensive link to the Dazhou Bus West station and major hotels. For a more direct and private connection, authorized taxis are available outside the arrivals hall, with a metered ride to downtown typically costing between 25 and 40 CNY. The airport features a sophisticated dual-level terminal that is easy to navigate, with check-in on the first floor and security screening on the second. Arriving at least 90 minutes before your domestic departure to hubs like Beijing (PEK), Shenzhen (SZX), or Guangzhou (CAN) is recommended. Within the terminal, amenities are of a high standard, including free high-speed Wi-Fi, several cafes serving local Sichuanese snacks, and modern retail kiosks. A vital tip for international travelers is to carry your passport at all times, as it will be checked at multiple security and check-in points throughout the building. Because the airport is situated in a mountainous inland province, stay mindful of potential delays during the rainy season. Lastly, for those connecting to high-speed rail, the Dazhou Railway Station is about a 20-minute taxi ride away, providing excellent links to Chengdu and Chongqing.
