China built an airport on a mountain

On the top of Mount Taohua, Wushan Airport was built at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level. The builders had to blow up the top of the mountain with dynamite to equip the runway, terminal and aircraft parking.

On the top of Mount Taohua, at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level, China built the Wushan Airport, which successfully performs its transport function. This grandiose project was implemented in order to reduce the load on Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, which serves about 40 million passengers annually.

During the construction of the facility, the peak of the mountain had to be blown up, after which the site for the airport was carefully cleaned and leveled. All this made it possible to create an airfield area, a terminal and a parking area for five aircraft at the same time.

However, according to experienced travelers, mountainous weather conditions can create certain problems. Constant changes in weather conditions can cause serious flight delays or delays for several days.
