Direct Flights From China to Taiwan
Monday, January 31, 2005-1:25 PM
Two days ago the first direct commercial flight from Mainland China to Taiwan since 1949 occurred. The plane took off from Guangzhou and landed on Taipei. There will be more flights from in the coming weeks from Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, and Guangzhou.
Their are several restrictions on these flights including that so far they are only scheduled to happen during the Chinese New Year holiday season and that they must fly through Hong Kong airspace to Taiwan.
Therefore, most people travelling from Mainland China to Hong Kong still have to travel the traditional way, transferring in Hong Kong, Macau, or South Korea.
