International Business VIP Lounge
★4.2(2,757 reviews)SZX · Terminal 3 · airside
Shenzhen's most flexible international lounge — DragonPass, airside, opposite Gate 9.
The International Business VIP Lounge is an independent lounge airside in Shenzhen Bao'an's Terminal 3, reached after passport control and security on the international side. After clearing immigration you turn right and go straight ahead, and the lounge is opposite Gate 9. It opens on DragonPass, so it's the most flexible international option at SZX for travellers who don't hold China Southern status or a premium-cabin ticket. As a standard contract VIP lounge it offers seating to relax or work, refreshments and Wi-Fi before departure. Because it sits beyond passport control, it only suits international flights — clear immigration before heading for it.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable spot before an international flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work rather than long sessions.
✓ Printer available
A light refreshment offering typical of an independent Chinese VIP lounge — hot and cold snacks, plus tea, coffee and soft drinks. The spread is simpler than an airline flagship lounge but covers a pre-flight bite.
