Daxing Airport, National Pride with Excellent Design

The Daxing Airport, which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, was designed by internationally renowned designer Zaha Hadid, a female demon in the architectural world who is known for using "God's curves". The five finger corridor has a majestic shape, making it a masterpiece of a great country and a source of national pride!

This world's largest single terminal is also the world's largest single isolated building, with a total construction area of 1.4 million square meters. The terminal has an area of 700000 square meters, with 5 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, totaling 7 floors. It adopts an irregular steel structure, which is bright and transparent, full of science fiction and curved beauty everywhere.
The roof of the terminal building is a 180000 square meter full skylight structure, with 8000 pieces of glass in the free form curved roof that are not the same. The dreamy and charming light and shadow flow freely.
Eight huge C-shaped columns resembling an alien stage background and over 40000 tons of steel structure support the huge roof. The pure white and soft warm orange make it particularly relaxed.
Meeting the C-shaped pillars in different areas of the airport, with different light and shadow spaces and varying shades of the sky, it feels like there is another space outside the window frames. Of course, this is also a wonderful way to take photos!
Chinese traditional courtyard design is also perfectly integrated with Daxing Airport, with five "sky gardens" built at the end of the Five Finger Corridor - Silk Garden, Tea Garden, Countryside Garden, Porcelain Garden, and China Garden - covering a total construction area of about 10000 square meters, almost covering all the characteristics of traditional Chinese architecture, and cleverly echoing the connotation of the "Silk Road". In the antique courtyard, there are small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions, and long corridors and water pavilions, each scene is incredibly beautiful.
High technology and humanization
Daxing International Airport is located in Daxing District, Beijing, and is also the world's first high-speed rail underpass terminal, connected to high-speed rail, rail transit, and highways, achieving rapid connection between air and land transportation. The parking lot introduces robot intelligent parking technology, and the parking and pick-up time does not exceed 3 minutes.
The first step to arriving at the airport is check-in. In addition to the airline check-in island, Daxing Airport is equipped with over 400 self-service check-in and check-in equipment, with a self-service coverage rate of 80%, ensuring that the check-in process for passengers does not exceed 10 minutes.


After passengers undergo facial recognition authentication on self-service check-in equipment at the airport, they can achieve facial recognition check-in, facial recognition security checks, and facial recognition boarding, achieving convenient paperless operations throughout the entire process.
The baggage self-service check-in uses the electronic baggage tag of radio frequency, which can be accessed through the mobile phone client of China Southern Airlines, WeChat official account, official website and other channels
Real time tracking of luggage movements throughout the journey, especially reassuring!
A humanized and considerate highlight worth mentioning is the design of the luggage check-in conveyor belt. Previously, it was always necessary to lift large suitcases high and place them on the luggage conveyor belt. However, the conveyor belt in front of me is a gentle slope that extends from the ground at about 30 °. Even a little girl like a flower can easily push in her luggage, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being laborious and easily falling and damaging it!
After checking in your luggage, you can also stroll slowly with friends and family at the terminal. There are over 300 shops and over 90 restaurants at the airport, and the airport's restaurants adopt measures of "same city, same quality, and same price", making it a safe shopping and food paradise! The 5th floor of the terminal building is a comprehensive commercial service area, with an international departure area below. Farewells can see their relatives and friends go through security checks and complete procedures, which is known as the "Farewell Layer". This warm design adds more storytelling and memory points to passengers' travel experiences.
The transfer hall is located on the 3rd floor and supports international international, domestic international, and international domestic transfers. Passengers can transfer from international to domestic and from domestic to international in just 60 minutes, saving 1 hour and 30 minutes respectively compared to the T2 terminal of Capital Airport! Hua Hua did not experience a transfer this time. The following picture is of the departure hall.
The customs inspection and airport security check at Daxing Airport are combined into one, using identity documents and facial recognition to pass in less than 10 seconds! Compared to manual security clearance, such efficient intelligence is so surprising!
Due to the pioneering "double entry and double exit" terminal design, the distance between the corridors is extremely short. After security check, the distance from the center of the terminal to the farthest boarding gate is only 600 meters, and the walking time is less than 8 minutes. Therefore, before boarding, you can take photos at the super beautiful check-in point at the airport and take photos on social media!
Hua Hua met the robot "Xiao Nan" in the VIP room of the second cabin of China Southern Airlines. It is skilled at answering specific questions in closed areas, such as high-frequency questions related to flights, check-in, luggage, etc. This is not only the result of the construction of Smart Southern Airlines, but also the realization of China Southern Airlines' improvement of passenger service quality. So cute and intelligent, Hua Hua likes you!

After experiencing 7 comprehensive simulation exercises and 3 verification test flights, China Southern Airlines launched its first flight in a new era. The Daxing Airport, which cost 80 billion yuan, was finally officially put into operation on September 25th. On that day, Hua Hua was honored to participate in the CZ3001 flight from Beijing Daxing Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, which was the first flight operated by China Southern Airlines A380. She witnessed a great event in the history of Chinese aviation and the development of China Southern Airlines!
Enter the terminal building through Gate 1 and Gate 2 on the 4th floor, and first reach the exclusive check-in counters A, B, and C islands of China Southern Airlines. Islands A and B are domestic check-in counters, while Island C is international check-in counter; The 28 self-service check-in devices exclusive to China Southern Airlines are distributed on both sides of Island B and Island C. The airport is filled with festivities everywhere, and the ground service staff of China Southern Airlines have particularly bright smiles~~
To commemorate this special flight, Hua Hua specially printed her boarding pass as a souvenir. The boarding gate for this flight is A01, which is very meaningful!
China Southern Airlines has set up a dedicated check-in area on the 2nd floor of the terminal, which also has a dedicated security checkpoint, providing a high-end and luxurious experience~~
After passing the facial recognition security check and character sorting intelligent security check system, Hua Hua, who checked in and took photos in the waiting area, was also interviewed by various media outlets to share the experience and blessings of Daxing Airport and the inaugural flight of China Southern Airlines. Some fans revealed in the background that they had already seen it on TV~~(Shy&Excited. jpg)
Before boarding gate A01, the crew of China Southern Airlines presented a wonderful performance, and the guests who participated in the inaugural flight also took photos to commemorate it.
I have to mention the "black technology" of facial brushing again here! During the boarding process, there is no need to verify identity documents, QR codes, or boarding passes, just need to
Simply brush your face and pass smoothly in less than 2 seconds, effortlessly board the plane!
On the A380 aircraft of China Southern Airlines, the crew carefully arranged bright five-star red flags and exquisite theme stickers, which were grand and festive; also
Exquisite special edition gifts were specially customized for the first flight passengers, and they all clicked and patted non-stop, with laughter and cheers echoing one after another.
The cabin door was closed, passengers sat down and fastened their seat belts. After the crew completed the takeoff safety check, the captain of this inaugural flight, China Southern Airlines A380 pilot, captain instructor, and "star captain" Zhang Tao, broadcasted in the control room, saying, "This is the first commercial passenger flight at Daxing Airport. I have flown safely for over 19000 hours, but this is the most unforgettable flight for me. I wish Daxing Airport and China Southern Airlines continued development!"


At 16:23, the plane took off smoothly, and the red cotton on the tail wing rushed towards the beautiful blue sky in the sunlight. The "Golden Phoenix" of Daxing Airport took off in shock, and this moment was of great significance!
During the flight, the crew and passengers engaged in interactive activities such as award-winning Q&A, signature messages, and blessings. The versatile flight attendant also brought a violin performance and singing performance of "Me and My Motherland". The atmosphere inside the cabin was lively and joyful, with thunderous applause!
The catering of Shouhang is also carefully designed, with a small cake specially customized for Shouhang. This is also the first time that the aviation food company of China Southern Airlines Daxing Base has prepared meals for commercial flights.
At 19:5, the first flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport, China Southern Airlines CZ3001, successfully landed at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. The cabin was filled with warm applause, and the profound meaning of "Daxing China Southern Airlines Daxing" seemed even more vivid. China Southern Airlines has officially entered the era of Guangzhou Beijing "dual hub" with Daxing Airport as a new starting point and power source!
Blessing China, wishing for prosperity, wishing for Southern Airlines!
