Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, launched two low-altitude helicopter sightseeing routes on March 1, connecting Guiyangbei Railway Station with Huangguoshu Scenic Area and Gui'an Cherry Blossom Park.  

The flight to Huangguoshu Scenic Area takes about 35 minutes, while the trip to Gui'an Cherry Blossom Park lasts around 20 minutes, offering passengers panoramic views of the landscapes below.  

The new routes improve regional connectivity and boost the culture and tourism sectors.  

Guizhou Xiaofei General Aviation Co, the operator of these routes, has nearly five years of pilot training experience. Xiaofei currently manages 80 percent of Guizhou's approved general aviation airspace, operates 22 temporary landing sites, and runs over 20 flight routes across the province.
