Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) will further expand its Mainland network by adding a scheduled service to Huangshan in Anhui Province starting 4 December 2024. This new route will operate three times a week every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday between Hong Kong and Huangshan (Huangshan Tunxi International Airport).

Located in southern Anhui Province in East China, Huangshan, also known as the Yellow Mountains, covers an area of 1,200 square kilometres and is famous of its spectacular natural scenery including the peculiarly shaped pines and granite peaks, stunning seas of cloud, hot springs as well as snowscape. Watching the fascinating sunrise and sunset is also a highly recommended activity for visitors.

According to the statistics released by the People’s Government of Huangshan, the tourist destination reached a record high of 4.57 million visitors in 2023.
