Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport is a near sea-level field at 13 ft (4 m), positioned at 22.6395° N, 113.8033° E in the Northern tropics. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 12,467 ft / 3,800 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Fuyong is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.8 km. HKG Hong Kong is the closest retained airport alternative at 38 km.
SZX is compared with CAN Guangzhou (Huadu) at 98 km, XMN Xiamen at 489 km, WUH Wuhan (Huangpi) at 906 km, CKG Chongqing at 1061 km, HGH Hangzhou at 1071 km inside the retained China airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
SZX-CAN Guangzhou (Huadu): 98 km, about 57m, +0h. SZX-XMN Xiamen: 489 km, about 1h 27m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies SZX as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Shenzhen.
SZX (ZGSZ) is a near sea-level field at 13 ft (4 m) in the tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
SZX also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as shenzhen airlines, china southern airlines and donghai airlines and for cargo airline sf airlines while serving as a focus city for hainan airlines.
SZX's runway record lists 3 runways, with the longest runway at 12,467 ft / 3,800 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (3).
Civil aviation oversight for SZX runs through Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at szairport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
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.
SZX uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport is about 29 km from central Shenzhen; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
HKG Hong Kong is the closest retained alternate at 38 km, time difference +0h.
szairport.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.
These comparisons place SZX inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
SZX ranks #16 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.
SZX 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.
SZX is 13 ft (4 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include BNE 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · DOH 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · FCO 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · GOA 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · HBA 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta).

Shenzhen is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from SZX, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
