Why did Jiangsu build the international airport in the impoverished Guanyun County?

I believe many tourists have visited Jiangsu. Jiangsu has always been very popular in China, especially Suzhou and Yangzhou in Jiangsu. These two cities are even more popular among tourists. Jiangsu's economy ranks relatively high in the country, and its economic development is stable. The transportation and construction of a region are the key to economic development. In recent years, Jiangsu has been planning to build an international airport, but its location is not in the famous Suzhou, but in a very humble town. Guess where?

As we all know, the provincial capital Nanjing and many other cities have their own airports, but Suzhou does not. Now it and Wuxi *** still use Sunan Shuofang Airport. Many tourists who have been to Suzhou believe that Suzhou is as popular as Nanjing and other places. Therefore, if Jiangsu wants to build an international airport, it should consider building it in Suzhou, right? But this is not the case. The location of Jiangsu International Airport was chosen in an unknown poor county, which is Guanyun County.

The editor learned through a tour guide friend that the location of Jiangsu International Airport is precisely in a small village called Xiaoyi Township in Guanyun County, and the name of the airport is? Lianyungang Huaguoshan International Airport?. The airport covers a total area of ??3,450 acres. The runway of the entire project is 2,800 meters long and 45 meters wide. In addition to the passenger terminal, there are also supporting facilities necessary for communications, road traffic, meteorology, fire protection, and long-distance flights. Construction, costing 2.1 billion, is said to start at the end of this year and be completed in 2020.

I asked this tour guide friend before, why should we choose a small county with relatively poor economic development to build an international airport? It turns out that although Guanyun County looks unremarkable, its geographical location is excellent. As the name suggests, the international airport serves domestic and international flights, and Guanyun County is relatively close to Japan and South Korea, so the location of the airport here is very reasonable.

After the completion of this international airport, it will bring many benefits. On the one hand, it can promote the economy of Jiangsu and domestic and foreign business exchanges, and the economy of poor areas can also be driven and improved. On the other hand, the completion of the international airport will also bring convenience to international transportation and attract more people. Tourists go.
