What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Unfortunately, recent detailed traveler reviews and experiences specifically focusing on Yichun Mingyueshan Airport (ZSYC (YIC)) are limited in the publicly available search results. While operational details and facilities are described, direct firsthand accounts from travelers expressing overall sentiment, satisfaction, and specific complaints or praises are scarce. Flightradar24, for instance, provides general ratings for various airport aspects but notes a lack of user comments.

What Travelers Love
  • Convenient Location: The airport is situated approximately 6 kilometers (about 3.5 miles) from downtown Yichun, making it easily accessible to the city center.
  • Variety of Transportation Options: Travelers have multiple choices for ground transport, including an airport shuttle bus (around 30 minutes to Yichun Railway Station for CNY 5), public buses (K19/19) connecting to the railway station and Mingyue Mountain, and readily available taxis (about 25 minutes to downtown Yichun for CNY 40). Car rentals are also an option for exploring the area at one's own pace.
  • Adequate Terminal Facilities: The airport, operational since 2013 and expanded in 2017 and 2020, has a terminal building of 7,160 to 7,200 square meters. It offers essential services such as air ticket-booking counters, information counters, catering, and resting areas, aiming to provide a comfortable experience before flights.
  • Efficient Security and Immigration: Reported security checkpoint wait times are approximately 25 minutes, and passport control wait times are estimated at around 8 minutes, suggesting relatively swift processing.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Direct Traveler Feedback: A significant complaint is the scarcity of recent, detailed traveler reviews and personal experiences online, making it difficult to gauge overall sentiment and specific common issues directly from passengers.
  • Modest Food and Retail Services: While catering is available, the "Food and retail services" and "Lounge" facilities received a lower rating of 73% on one platform, suggesting they might be less extensive or satisfactory compared to other airport aspects.
  • Baggage Claim and Immigration Experience: "Baggage claim" and "Immigration/customs" also received lower ratings (60% each) compared to other services, potentially indicating areas where travelers experience more delays or dissatisfaction.

Yichun Mingyueshan Airport appears to be a functional regional airport with good transportation links to the city and a focus on essential services. While it generally seems to handle passenger flow efficiently, particularly with security and passport control, the limited public reviews suggest that potential travelers should set expectations for a practical rather than luxurious experience, especially regarding food, retail, and lounge options.

Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available at a designated taxi stand outside the arrivals hall. The trip to the Yichun city center typically takes about 15-20 minutes. Fares are metered, and it is recommended to have your destination address written in Chinese to show the driver.

Rental Cars

Several Chinese car rental companies, such as China Auto Rental (Shenzhou) and eHi Car Services, operate at the airport, though they may not have a physical counter in the terminal. Pre-booking online is highly recommended. Foreign travelers should be aware that a valid Chinese driver's license is required to rent a vehicle; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is generally not sufficient on its own.

Public Transportation

The airport is connected by public bus services, which are the most economical option. An Airport Express Line (机场快线) offers a relatively direct route to major points in the city, including the Yichun Railway Station. Additionally, local City Bus Route 18 (公交18路) provides service between the airport and various stops throughout downtown Yichun.
