To give more people the opportunity to visit Quanzhou, Xiamen Airlines will officially launch its Taoyuan–Quanzhou route on November 26. Chen Huiling, head of group control at Xiamen Airlines, stated that flights will operate every Tuesday and Sunday. To celebrate the launch, passengers on the first four flights can enjoy a promotional round-trip fare starting as low as NT$1,500 (before tax). After the promotion ends, the standard fare will be NT$3,500 (before tax).

Quanzhou in Fujian is renowned for its rich religious culture, tea industry, and stone carving, boasting an excellent geographical environment and unique tourist attractions. Sites such as Kaiyuan Temple and Qingyuan Mountain are also highly representative landmarks. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou was the world’s largest port and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.

Although Quanzhou has a glorious history and profound culture, the lack of direct flights between Quanzhou and Taiwan has made it less of a top choice for travelers to mainland China. With Xiamen Airlines’ newly launched Taoyuan–Quanzhou route, traveling to Quanzhou is now faster and more convenient.
