Northeast China’s scenic forest and ski resort of Changbai Mountain has further opened to tourists with the operation of a new airport.
The first flight, by China Southern Airlines, took about 40 minutes from Changchun, capital of Jilin Province, to the Changbai Mountain Airport.
It is planned that the airport will also serve direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenyang, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Changbai Mountain is in the border area between China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Skiing is possible from late October to June, and it has hosted international skiing events and tourism festivals.
