8. What will the airport code be? DAX is taken (Dazhou in Sichuan) but DXG is not. I like that one. No doubt one of those only-on-FT questions will pop up:
I'm planning a trip to PEK. Which airport should I use? PEK or DXG? 
As an airplane geek, naturally I want to check out the new airport, but I certainly don't fancy staying down there until businesses make the move. On a semi related note, as recently as 2010, everywhere south of Chang'an Jie was frowned upon (partly due to fengshui reasons, and partly due to the fact that everything nice was on or near NE 3rd Ring), but Shuangjing really took off, and is now considered very desirable. I could easily envision the same thing happening in the southwest...though not overnight.
