Changi Airport’s link to China has expanded further. Travellers can now catch direct flights to Dalian and Ningbo cities from Singapore via China Southern Airlines.
The new service departs Singapore at 0300 hours every Monday and Thursday, arrives at Ningbo at 0740 hours, and takes off for Dalian again at 0830 hours. It arrives at Dalian at 1010 hours.
With the latest additions of Dalian and Ningbo in Changi Airport’s network, Singapore is now linked to 17 cities in China. The other 15 cities are Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanchang, Nanjing, Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen and Xiamen. They are served by eight passenger carriers – Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines and SilkAir. They operate more than 140 weekly passenger services between Singapore and China. Of the 17 city links with China, five were added this year: Hangzhou, Nanchang, Jinan, Chongqing and Qingdao.
Visitors bound for Singapore can catch a flight from Dalian every Sunday and Wednesday at 1900 hours. The flight first arrives at Ningbo at 2040 hours, before departing again at 2130 hours for Singapore. It arrives at Singapore early the next morning at 0200 hours.
Dalian is a costal city in the Liaoning Province, located northeast of China. Dalian’s hilly landscapes make it famous for many scenic sights, including Bingyu Valley for its towering peak, clear rivers and many caves; the Jinshitan Scenic Area for its unusual rock formations; and the Bangchuidao Scenic Area for its steep cliffs and craggy stones.
Ningbo, a city in Zhejiang Province, is located just south of Shanghai. Like Dalian, it is also a coastal city. Ningbo is best known for its cultural relics and historical sites, like the Baoguo Temple, one of the oldest and most well-preserved wooden structure in Southern China. Another famous attraction is the Tianyi Pavilion, which was built during the Ming Dynasty. It houses an old, historical library, which has a collection of about 300,000 ancient books, some of which are rare woodcut and handwritten books of the Song and Ming Dynasties.
