Hainan Airlines officially openned Chengdu - Los Angeles route on March 15. The inaugural flight HU469 left the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport at 09:15 p.m., arriving at Los Angeles International Airport at 08:00 p.m. (all times listed are local). This is the first nonstop flight to Los Angeles from the southwest part of China.
Los Angeles is the pearl on the west coast, the second largest city and the center of culture and entertainment of America. This city attracted tourists from all over the world by its wide beaches, bright sunlight, world-renowned Hollywood and Beverly Hills. With the increasing outbound travelling demand from China, Los Angeles has became a "must-go" on west coast for Chinese tourists. Additionally, Chengdu, a city features Chinese traditional culture, also draws countless global visitors every year. It has been said that, Chengdu is city that you will hesitate to leave once you come to it. Visitors could watch Sichuan Opera and face-changing performance, enjoy wine and hot pot, and go to see China's national tresure, panda.
The representative of Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board, Betty Zhou, said: "In the Los Angeles tourism exhibition held this year, the presenter of China's exhibition area - a plush panda, has attracted a lot of visitors to take a photo with. I believe that more and more people would go to Chengdu to see the real panda after the openning of Chengdu - Los Angeles route."
Kung Fu Panda-themed wide-body jet would provide services to Chengdu - Los Angeles nonstop flight of Hainan Airlines and passengers would be welcomed by the cute pandas.
