Chongqing Xiannüshan Airport
Chongqing Xiannüshan Airport, marked CQW in booking systems, opened to bring easier access to Wulong, a mountainous district within Chongqing municipality famed for its karst scenery. The Wulong Karst area, recognized by UNESCO for its natural stone bridges, sinkholes, and cave systems, draws domestic tourists who once faced long overland drives from central Chongqing before the airport's arrival. Carved into a landscape of steep ridges and river gorges, the airfield required significant engineering to level suitable terrain. Its relatively short runway and mountain-adjacent approach paths cater mainly to smaller regional jets serving nearby Chinese cities.
