About Shanghai Longhua Airport
Derived from nearby Longhua Temple, Shanghai Longhua Airport, also romanised as Shanghai Lunghwa Airport, is a converted heliport located in Longhua Subdistrict in Xuhui District, 10 km (6.2 mi) south of downtown Shanghai, China, on the bank of the Huangpu River. It opened in June 1929 and served as the city's civilian airport until August 1966, when Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport reopened. Thereafter, it was one of two general aviation airports serving Shanghai and also served as an emergency landing site for police, fire and rescue operations southwest of the city. The airport was torn down in 2013 and reopened as a heliport.
