This demand has enabled us to ramp-up our frequency. The increased frequency is testament to the AirAsia’s commitment of making travel accessible and affordable to all. It will also provide both business and leisure travelers with more flexibility and greater choice to connect onto AirAsia and AirAsia X’s extensive route network across ASEAN countries and beyond. We have always positioned Hangzhou as our Eastern gateway into the Yangtze Delta region as it takes only 75 minutes from Hangzhou to Shanghai by bullet train and the inbound travellers from China can also take advantage of Kuala Lumpur’s status as a gateway to Asia, Australia, Europe and beyond,”
“Hangzhou, also known as the ‘Oriental City of Leisure’ is famed for its natural scenery. The West Lake, being one of Hangzhou’s most famous attractions, has been immortalized by countless poets and artists. The city ranks as one of China’s most popular tourist attractions, with natural attractions such as the Longjing (Dragon Well) Tea Fields, Guo’s Village, Leifong and Six Harmonies Pagoda. Hangzhou is also one of the seven ancient capitals of China.” concluded Kathleen.
