Why was Xi 'an Airport built in Xianyang?

Xi 'an Airport was built in Xianyang due to topography, geography and development.

In the past, Xi 'an airport was not far from the west gate, but today it is near the west gate. Later, with the economic construction and urban development, the old airport has been surrounded by the urban area, which not only restricts its development, but also interferes with the normal life of the surrounding residents. Therefore, the government decided to move the airport to Xi 'an. Now the airport is located in a higher terrain, which is not easy to accumulate water and has less rain and snow. It is close to the urban area and does not interfere with residents' lives. The surrounding terrain is flat and open, which is beneficial to the subsequent construction.

As for Xianyang, it is because Xi 'an has no suitable location. Xianyang is very close to Xi. Historically, the two cities have been under the jurisdiction of the same prefecture-level administrative center for a long time. Moreover, building the airport in Xianyang is also convenient to promote the development of Xianyang, so it is built in Xianyang.
