The reason why the Yunnan government chose to build so many airports is:
1, Yunnan has steep terrain, with mountainous and semi-mountainous areas accounting for 94% of the total area of the province, and mountains and valleys crisscross. The cost of building railways and highways is too high. Comparatively speaking, building an airport is more cost-effective!
2. In Yunnan, 256 million yuan can only build two or three kilometers of expressway, but it invested in Diqing Airport. Every year, there are a constant stream of tourists going to Shangri-La through the airport, and the benefits it brings are absolutely incomparable to the expressway.
3. In Yunnan, two or three kilometers of expressway can't even connect the two neighboring villages, but because of the construction of the airport, it can connect the whole world! With the airport, the towering peak will no longer be an obstacle to Yunnan's economic development, but will help Yunnan's tourism to climb to a new height again!
