China Constructs World's Largest Artificial-Island Airport in Dalian

The $4.3 billion project, set to be completed by 2035, will transform Dalian into a major transportation and trade hub in Northeast Asia.

The Dalian Jinzhouwan International Airport will span 20.9 square kilometers, surpassing Hong Kong and Kansai airports in size.
Located on an artificial offshore island, it will feature four runways and a 900,000-square-meter terminal capable of handling 80 million passengers annually upon full operation.
The airport aims to replace the existing Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport, which has reached its capacity and faces operational challenges due to its location in a valley surrounded by mountains.
Strategically situated near Japan and South Korea, the new airport will bolster Dalian's role as a hub for international trade, shipping, and tourism.
The project, which has completed foundational work on a 77,000-square-meter reclamation area, highlights China's expansive infrastructure development efforts.
