Sunan Shuofang International Airport — Wuxi, China

Sunan Shuofang International Airport, identified as WUX, sits between Wuxi and Suzhou in southern Jiangsu province, a designation reflected in its name, which literally means 'southern Jiangsu.' It opened in 2004 to give the prosperous Yangtze Delta manufacturing belt, long known for silk weaving and now for electronics and precision engineering, an alternative to the crowded airports of nearby Shanghai. Wuxi itself sits on the shore of Lake Tai, a scenic and historically significant body of water, and the city's blend of ancient canal towns and modern industrial parks draws both business travelers and domestic tourists through the terminal. WUX has expanded gradually with low-cost carrier routes across China and a handful of international connections, while cargo traffic tied to electronics exports has become an increasingly important part of its operations alongside conventional passenger service.
