Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (IATA: SHA, ICAO: ZSSS) is one of two international airports of Shanghai, the largest city by population in China, and a significant airline hub of the country. Hongqiao Airport mainly serves domestic and regional flights, although the airport also serves select international flights (mainly to Seoul–Gimpo, Taipei–Songshan and Tokyo–Haneda). The airport is located near the town of Hongqiao in the outskirts of Changning and Minhang districts, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) west of downtown, and is closer to the city center than the area's primary international airport, Shanghai–Pudong.
Hongqiao Airport is the corporate headquarters and a major hub for China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, and Juneyao Air, as well as a major hub for Spring Airlines. In 2016, Hongqiao Airport handled 40,460,135 passengers, making it the 7th busiest airport in China and the 43rd busiest in the world. By the end of 2011, Hongqiao Airport hosted 22 airlines serving 82 scheduled passenger destinations. Shanghai Hongqiao Airport was also certified with the Skytrax 5-Star Airport Rating for facilities, terminal comfort and cleanliness, shopping, food & beverages, and staff service in 2019.
Hongqiao Airport served as Shanghai's primary airport until the completion of Pudong International Airport on 1 October 1999, when most international flights were gradually moved to Pudong.

As always WFSceneryStudios are making legit top of the art airport in China. Today's release of ZSSS marked a new step for them, as I definitely saw improvement on many aspects. Ground textures are crispier than ever, custom stop position marking are READIBLE unlike at some of their previous airports, and night lightning also looks better. They also seem to have improved runway lightning, which is great.
As always with their airport, expect high fps and a stutter-free experience with beautiful details all around the airport (and even on the cargo side!).
Go get this airport now and discover China !

The terminal building and its airside look superb, with plenty of custom ground clutter (some of it animated). Ground textures and markings are great — in fact, in the case of the markings, probably the sharpest I've seen. There are plenty of peripheral buildings featured, and some nice modelling work to include the elevated roadways around the airfield. The animated trains also look fab.
The downside is undoubtedly the night lighting on some of the buildings, which looks a bit garish and out-of-place. No parallax interiors either; just 2D textures (that admittedly hold up fairly well till you get really close). Another issue is the rudimentary terminal interior but there is at least one to look at from the flightdeck of a parked airliner. I'd like to see some people inside, though, even if they're only statics.
Finally, I think the terminal landside would have benefitted from further development. What is here is fine (modelled roadways, signage, train station, etc.) but it's totally devoid of people and vehicles — and those generic 2D textures make another appearance at the terminal entrances. Some of their older airports actually feature better landside detail.
Samscene3D's Shanghai city package nicely complements this scenery, by the way (as I'm sure AMJ's version would, too).
