Life under the perfect aerofoil

In recent years, the industry has been undergoing sustainable and rapid development, and its importance in the national economy has progressively manifested itself in terms of air transportation, general aviation, fleet renewal, airport construction, flight safety and personnel training. With years of painstaking efforts, we have scored great achievements that have been recognized worldwide.

By 2019, the soaring number of 1.352 billion passengers nationwide accelerated expansion of China's airports, attaining a total transportation turnover of 129.325 billion ton-kilometers. For ordinary people, traveling by plane is no longer a luxury, and our airplanes take them to farther places across the globe.

My family lives conveniently near the Beijing Capital International Airport, and next to West Lake Park, which is located to the southwest of Terminal Three of the Capital Airport. Here you can watch the plane take off and land up close. There is also a high platform facing the airstrip. It has become the first choice destination for photographers in Beijing to take pictures of the planes, and it is also a place for people to watch planes leisurely.
