AirAsia Flies To Lanzhou, China

Have you been to Lanzhou? Me... not yet but I heard that the cuisine and scenery there are great. Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu Province in Northwest China located on the banks of the Yellow River. Historically, it has been a major link on the Northern Silk Road and it stands to become a major hub on the New Eurasian Land Bridge. Good news for those planning to visit Lanzhou because AirAsia now flies to Lanzhou from Kuala Lumpur commencing from 1 May, 2019.

AirAsia, in conjunction with Al Amber Chinese Muslim Restaurant, is promoting Lanzhou, one of the airline’s newest destinations, with an authentic gastronomic experience unique to the region. Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, or lamian, as well as many other local favourite dishes were prepared by the restaurant’s Lanzhou native chefs to help promote the many key tourism draw-cards offered in the capital city of Gansu province, China.

AirAsia Commercial Head for China, Jurvena Lee said “The trend of travelling for great food and culture is becoming increasingly popular. Lanzhou offers a truly unique travel experience, now made more accessible by our exclusive direct flight services and amazing low fares.”

“Besides the food and culture, there are many amazing natural attractions in and around Gansu province including Wuquan Mountain, Zhangye Geopark, Jiuquan, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Spring, and Jiayuguan.”

All-inclusive member fares from as low as RM249* for standard seats and RM889* for the award-winning Premium Flatbed for one-way travel. Guests can also book hotels in Lanzhou for as low as RM119 per night, and enjoy an extra 5% off using the promo code HOTEL5. To book, log-in to airasia.com or the AirAsia mobile app from now until 21 April 2019 and travel between 1 May 2019 and 26 October 2019.

Al Amber is a restaurant chain with 30 outlets across China, including 15 in Gansu province. Malaysia is the first international location with three outlets located in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Nexus Bangsar South and 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

AirAsia will soon operate to 24 cities in China from multiple hubs across the region in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. Just last month alone, the airline group announced network expansion to Lanzhou and Quanzhou, affirming its position as the largest foreign carrier in China.
