๐ข Terminal Information
Beijing Daxing International Airport, opened in 2019, represents one of the world's most advanced airport terminals, designed by Zaha Hadid with its distinctive starfish-shaped architecture. This massive facility serves as Beijing's second major international gateway and showcases China's aviation infrastructure capabilities. Layout: Single enormous terminal building spanning 700,000 square meters with six curved arms extending from a central hub, resembling a starfish when viewed from above. The terminal operates across multiple levels with distinct zones for domestic (Level 3) and international (Level 4) departures. Maximum walking distance between furthest gates can exceed 30 minutes, but automated people movers (APM) and moving walkways significantly reduce travel time. The central skylight creates dramatic natural lighting throughout the space. Security: Advanced multi-level security screening with separate domestic and international processing areas. Allow 25-35 minutes for domestic security, 35-50 minutes for international during peak hours. Facial recognition and automated systems streamline the process for Chinese nationals, while foreign visitors use traditional lanes with enhanced documentation checks. Immigration: International departures feature 48 automated e-gates and 24 manned booths with advanced biometric systems. Processing typically takes 20-35 minutes for foreign nationals, faster for Chinese citizens using e-gates.

๐ข Terminal Information
Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport (ACX) in Xingyi, Guizhou Province, China, serves as a regional airport primarily facilitating domestic flights for the city and its surrounding areas, notably a scenic tourist region, with scheduled commercial services provided by airlines such as Air China, China Eastern, and China Southern. The airport operates from a single, modern terminal building designed for efficient passenger processing and comfort. Its layout is straightforward and integrated, with clearly defined areas for check-in, a dedicated security screening point, and departure gates, all within close proximity. All essential services are contained within this singular structure, meaning there are no complex inter-terminal connections or transfers. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically ranging from 5 to 10 minutes to reach most gates, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for passengers.\n\nSecurity procedures at ACX adhere to stringent Chinese aviation standards. Passengers can expect thorough screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal security checks. Given its regional focus and moderate passenger volume, wait times at security checkpoints are generally short and manageable, rarely exceeding 15-20 minutes during peak periods. As ACX primarily handles domestic traffic, there are no international immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be processed at larger international airports in China if connecting from an international flight. The emphasis of security and operational processes is on facilitating smooth and efficient domestic air travel within the region.\n\nAmenities at Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport are functional and cater to the basic needs of regional travelers and tourists. While there are no extensive luxury lounges, comfortable waiting areas are available. Dining options typically include a small cafรฉ or snack bar, offering beverages and light meals, with choices reflecting local cuisine. Retail facilities are modest, possibly including a newsstand or a small shop for travel essentials and local souvenirs, especially those related to the 'Ten Thousand Peaks Forest' (Wanfenglin) scenic area. Accessibility features include ramp access and accessible restrooms, accommodating passengers with reduced mobility. Specific family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are generally not available, but staff are usually attentive to families traveling through the airport. Free Wi-Fi connectivity might be offered in designated areas, though its availability can vary.
