在廣西河池，建築師將幾座山的山頂夷為平地後建造了一座海拔2200呎單跑道機場，這機場一小時可容納3個航班。預計將於8月正式投入運營。據報導這條跑道是全球最窄的跑道之一。
Would YOU want to land here? China chops top off mountain for an airport with nail-bitingly terrifying runway... 2,000ft above sea level
This is a new airport runway set to open in China next month.
Chinese architects levelled several mountain tops to build the spectacular £80m development in Hechi, a city in China's southern Guangxi province.
Engineers managed to slice off the mountain tops to create a 1.4-mile runway that will provide a spectacular if nail-biting panorama for arriving passengers.
It sits amid several mountain ranges, including Jiuwangda to the north, the Phoenix Mountains in the north-west, Fengling to the east, and Duyang to the west. The Green Dragon Mountains sit to the south-west.
In the past, getting to Hechi required flying to the Liangjiang International Airport in Guilin and then travelling by road for more than 200km.
Work on the airport began at the end of 2008 and was completed at the end of last year.
When it goes into operation next month it will be a transit stop on the sole air route between the cities Chongqing and Haikou in Hainan province. If plans for extending the operation business work out, it might also add a flight from Guangzhou in the future.
