Tigerair to Launch Flights from Singapore to Nanning and Guilin, China

Tigerair will tomorrow launch twice weekly direct flights between Singapore and Nanning in southern China.

Then on 15 November the airline will launch one flight per week between Singapore and Guilin, also in southern China.

“We are very pleased to be launching our first direct flights to Guilin and Nanning from this November. With its scenic landscapes, Guilin has captured the hearts of many visitors from Singapore and it is a well-known and loved destination for Singaporeans. Currently Singaporeans make up the seventh largest group of tourists to Guilin and with the added convenience of a direct flight from Singapore; we hope more Singaporeans will opt to visit Guilin and Nanning in the coming months,” said Ho Yuen Sang, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tigerair.

Renowned for its stunning limestone sceneries and its ethereal landscape of mountains and lakes, Guilin is one of China’s most popular cities, and Singapore visitors make up the seventh largest group in terms of tourist numbers. A must-do for visitors is the river cruise meandering down the 83km-long Li River that is said to resemble an artist’s masterpiece with rolling hills, unique cliffs peppered throughout the waterway. Guilin also provides a convenient base for visitors wishing to visit the rolling terraced hills located in the Longsheng County – providing not only amazing scenery but also a reflection of the colourful rural life as experienced by some of China’s ethnic minorities.

Nanning on the other hand provides visitors a snapshot of a modern Green City in China. The capital city of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning is the political, economic and cultural centre of the region with a well-connected and highly developed transport network linking leisure and business travellers to other parts of China. In recent months, Nanning has hosted a series of high profile international events, further strengthening its image and profile in the minds of the public.
