Decision matrix for HGH
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
HGH uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is about 26 km from central Hangzhou; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
SHA Shanghai (Minhang) is the closest retained alternate at 138 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
hzairport.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place HGH inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
HGH ranks #7 in the curated China airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 25 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
HGH shares Asia/Shanghai with CAN Guangzhou (Huadu) CN · CGQ Changchun CN · CKG Chongqing CN · CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) CN · DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) CN · HFE Hefei CN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
HGH is 23 ft (7 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include AKL 23 ft (7 m) (0 ft delta) · ICN 23 ft (7 m) (0 ft delta) · KNO 23 ft (7 m) (0 ft delta) · SIN 22 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta) · UKB 22 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
HGH's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are SHA 138 km +0h · WUX 140 km +0h · PVG 166 km +0h · NKG 224 km +0h.
