The outbound CI509 flight from Taoyuan to Wuxi departs at 17:20 from Taoyuan International Airport and arrives in Wuxi at 19:30; the return CI510 flight departs Wuxi at 20:30 and arrives in Taoyuan at 22:45. To celebrate the launch of its own Taoyuan–Wuxi route and promote refined travel in Wuxi, China Airlines is offering round-trip economy class tickets bundled with stays at several local 3 to 5-star quality hotels. The package for two people traveling together for a three-day-two-night trip is approximately TWD 14,100 per person (before tax). Travelers departing between June 16 and July 16 can also receive an exclusive gift: a “Wuxi Huishan Clay Figurine” gift box.

Located south of Taihu Lake, Wuxi is known as the “Pearl of Taihu Lake,” and its thriving industry has earned it the nickname “Little Shanghai.” With its prime location, Wuxi offers convenient connections to major cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing. The charm of traveling in Wuxi can be described as “filled with warmth and water.” “Warmth” refers to the hospitable nature of the locals, making visitors feel right at home. “Water” highlights that Wuxi’s tourism is inseparable from its water features, including Taihu Lake, the “Second Spring Under Heaven,” and the ancient canal. Key attractions in Wuxi include Turtle Head Isle, Xihui Park, Li Garden, and Jichang Garden. It is one of China’s cities rich in Eastern history and culture, well worth a visit.

The China Airlines Group is the airline with the highest market share on cross-strait routes. Its extensive cross-strait network covers six major markets: Northeast China, North China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, and Hainan, serving 32 passenger destinations and providing 137 weekly flights. China Airlines stated that cross-strait routes are one of its key operational segments. With the future opening of transit services for mainland Chinese passengers, it will offer travelers even more convenient and high-quality air transport services.
