What?
Hello Green Chilli,
You may describe Chengdu's airport very modern, light and airy design because that depends on how you see, but common, where have you seen (plenty) of fruit stalls? Everybody can see what is there and what not; you can not make it up. What's the point.

Info on Airport
XiJiao is a Chinese military/governmental airport strategically positioned on the edge of the fourth ring road in downtown Beijing. It has few or no fighter aircraft, although a couple helicopters. Mainly you see 737's and occasionally a CRJ 200 or Gulfstream. Only time you see Airbuses here is when CUA airlines (Which is the only airline operating from NanYuan Airport) stop by occasionally. My guess is that they are contracting to transport officials or the likes. Plane spotting opportunities by the far south west corner of the runway in a small park, or at the two ends of the runway. Traffic usually is on workday mornings.

REQ ATA
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ASK U ?? I CAN ASK IN THIS COMMENT?
Thank god it closed
Good thing that old airport closed. It was too small, difficult approach, and short runway. It couldn't be expanded because of building surrounding the airport. So it was replaced by the new airport in 2004 and is following a similar fate as Kai Tak Airport, to be redeveloped into something else. And have any pictures of the passenger terminal and facilities?
new info
According to the published data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alashankou_Airport from 4 October 2011 the Bole Alashankou airport ICAO code ZWBL has been assigned.

Warning!
As I say above: no more than the assumption that this airport is assigned code ZWAX.
ICAO "indicators list" assign ZWAX to unknown city "A'xialashankou, China". There is Alashankou (Ala Shankou) railway station in China located at 45ยฐ21โฒ03โณN 82ยฐ25โฒ27โณE.

Quite developed
I was surprised at the development of Chengdu's airport. Very modern, light and airy design - shopping and food options, some quite nice and not too expensive.
Plenty of fruit stalls before check-in to stock up on the local favourites also.
New terminal just opened April 2010
With all the preparations for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, Hongqiao Airport got a new terminal!
All very flash, with new connections to the line 2 of the subway which will also take you directly (in an hour and a half I've heard) out to Pudong International Airport.
Would be great to see more regional flights flying into Hongqiao in the future.
re: Map to be changed
When Google updates its maps and satellite imagery, the new terminal will show up.
re: Map to be changed
Reply to @Inducedrag: I see three runways on that map. Why do you think it needs to be changed?
Map to be changed
It has 3 operational runways the map requires to be changed

Apparently closed
I've marked this air base as closed, since it's clear from the satellite photo that a road has been built through it.
Chinese-operated airport
China operates this airport to try to assert a claim over the disputed Paracel Islands.
World's highest airport
At an elevation of 14,219 feet AMSL, this is the world's highest airport with scheduled airline service, nearly 1,000 feet higher than El Alto Airport (SLLP) in Bolivia.
Baiyun
The word "Baiyun" means "white cloud", which is an inauspicious name for an airport. However, it makes a good name for a cockatiel: http://gallery.xcski.com/v/paulart/photo_contest/baiyun.jpg.html
Closed in 2004
This airport closed in 2004, and its name and airport codes transfered to the new airport 12 nm to the north: CAN ZGGG

Haikou Dayingshan Airport
๐ Fri, 22 Aug 2014
โ @trasher at Haikou Dayingshan (Haikou City) Airport, China
Haikou Dayingshan Airport (aka Haikou City Airport) HAK-ZJHK- code HAK transferred in 1999 to new -
Haikou Meilan International Airport ZGHK (http://ourairports.com/airports/ZJHK/).
Initially HMA was used locally at ZGHK, but being already in use elsewhere, HMA could not be used and HAK was transferred.
