The Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, which was once isolated by mountains, has gradually built an efficient and convenient multimodal transportation pattern with the opening of more new routes.
Xiangxi is making efforts to strengthen its close connection with the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city group, Wuhan metropolitan area, as well as Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, and search for support from the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Starting from March 31, Xiangxi Biancheng Airport began the 2024 summer and autumn flight schedule, and will also launch multiple promotional activities together with airlines.
