Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport or Pai Yuen Airport was the main airport in Guangzhou , China, until August 5, 2004, when it was replaced by the identically named Guangzhou Baiyun Intl Airport, some 25 kilometres (16 mi) to the north. Opened in 1932, "Baiyun" means "white clouds" in Chinese, while the airport took its name from the adjacent Baiyun Mountain.
Aerial views of the old airport show redevelopment is complete with the previous site now obliterated by parks, residential developments (Baiyun New Town) and commercial development. The terminal building is being converted as G5 Mall
The old airport opened in 1932. Due to the expansion of Guangzhou , the airport could not expand to meet passengers needs as buildings surrounded the airport. There were also complaints of noise from aircraft. On August 5, 2004, the new Baiyun airport opened and the old airport was closed.
