The meaningful alternates are Fuzhou Changle International Airport, Longyan Guanzhishan Airport, Nanping Wuyishan Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities.

    "Use SQJ when Sanming is your destination, not when a coastal Fujian hub would suit better.",
    "The airport makes the most sense paired with rail, since Fujian onward travel often shifts quickly."

  "terminal_info": "Sanming Shaxian Airport is the regional airport for Sanming in Fujian and a practical domestic gateway into inland Fujian. It is not as large as the coastal province's major hubs, but it makes access to the Sanming area much easier.\n\nTravelers often combine the airport with high-speed rail or road transfers, since Fujian's rail network remains important for onward movement. The airport is manageable in size and generally easier to navigate than the biggest Chinese airports.\n\nIts value is location, especially if your destination is Sanming rather than Fuzhou or Xiamen. That makes it the practical choice for people whose trip is centered on Sanming or the inland part of the province.\n\nSanming Shaxian now has links to several major Chinese cities and sits close to Sanming North Railway Station and the expressway network, so it works as a compact regional gateway with real onward transport options.",
