Shanghai Longhua Airport (ICAO: ZSSL),^[1] then called Shanghai Lunghwa Airport, was a converted general aviation airport and PLAAF airfield located south of downtown Shanghai, China, on the bank of the Huangpu River. It opened in the early 1920s and served as the city's airport until the 1950s when Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport opened. Thereafter, it was one of two general aviation airports serving Shanghai and also served as an emergency landing site for police, fire and rescue operations southwest of the city.^[2] The airport was eventually closed at 1966, and the airport grounds were slowly built over though a period of between 1993 and 2016.^[3]
