SZ-Nyingchi direct flight inaugurated

The travel time between Shenzhen and Nyingchi, also known as "the Jiangnan of Tibet," has been reduced to four hours from the previous six. On July 26, flight CZ5843 operated by the China Southern Airlines, successfully completed its journey to Nyingchi, a city in Southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, marking the commencement of direct flights from Shenzhen to Nyingchi. The new route offers three weekly round-trip flights, departing from Shenzhen every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and returning from Nyingchi every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The route is scheduled to remain operational until the end of September, catering to the travel needs of summer explorers. Nyingchi, renowned for its enchanting landscapes, is a region that Shenzhen has been designated to support under the pairing assistance program, a distinctive initiative in China’s efforts to alleviate poverty.
