civilian airport in a bid to boost tourism and tighten political control over

level, Daocheng Yading Airport replaces the previous champion, Bangda Airport
in the Tibet Autonomous Region, which sits at 4,334 meters (14,219 feet).
The one at Daocheng Yading is 4,200 meters (13,780
feet) long, just 242 meters (794 feet) shorter than the longest runway at New
