At 9:50 on August 1, accompanied by the sound of rumbling engine, a Boeing 737 (which was set off in Kunming) landed smoothly in Yuezhao airport, which means that another new air route becomes available in Yuezhao airport. With immediate effect, the Kunming to Liupanshui to Shanghai route led by Eastern Airlines enters Yuezhao airport officially.
　　When the airplane door was opened, passengers went down the aircraft stairs in succession. Since Liupanshui is not the destination of this air route, there are some, among the passengers, going to Liupanshui, others going to Shanghai. The passenger Fu Weimin and his families were walking toward the departure lounge, talking and laughing. He told us that they are from Jiaxing city in Zhejiang province. They went to Kunming for a tour and are taking this flight to Shanghai. “When you take a look of Liupanshui from the airplane, you will find the rolling hills very beautiful. The climate here is very cool. It’s my first time to come to Liupanshui. I will come here again in the future if I got the chance. ” said Fu.
　　“It’s the first flight, really? We are so lucky!” exclaimed by the boyfriend of Xu Xiaoxian, a passenger from Shanghai, being informed that what they took was the first flight from Kunming to Liupanshui. So does Xu Xiaoxian, who also showed a surprised look and exclaimed how lucky she is.
　　Ms. Wu, a Liupanshui citizen coming back from a family-gathering-tour in Kunming, told us that she especially bought the ticket since she learned that the flight from Kunming to Liupanshui will be available. “It took only 50 minutes to get here, much shorter than taking a train.”
　　Zhao Yangjie, a student from Xiamen, traveled along her way to Kunming. She also took this flight. She commented that the plane arrives quite on time and the ticket is cheap. It saves a lot of money for her to take this flight from Kunming to Liupanshui and take a train to Guiyang, rather than taking a flight directly from Kunming to Guiyang.
　　We found that there are a group of special-looking passengers in the departure lounge – it turned out to be a tour group of retirees. Chen Ronggen and Chen Meilan, the brother and sister leading this group, told us that they are retired workers from Shanghai. They spent only ten days in Liupanshui during this tour and they didn’t expect that the weather here is so cool. “It’s so comfortable to stay here! The weather in Shanghai is too hot – 38℃! We will come here to escape the heat next summer. ”said Chen Meilan. She commented that the flight from Shanghai to Liupanshui is a heat escaping passage. She hopes that this air route will be well developed and be always kept. Next year she would like to bring the whole family to come here to escape the heat. She will also invite her relatives and friends to come along with her to enjoy the cool weather of the cool city.
　　According to an official of Yue Zhao airport Co., Ltd., Kunming to Liupanshui to Shanghai air route is available every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday for return tickets.
