Changsha opened its first direct flight to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on April 8. With this new route, it takes only about 3.5 hours traveling from Changsha to Ulaanbaatar.

This route marks the first direct international route from China's central region to Mongolia, bringing great convenience to travelers from Hunan province and its surrounding areas. It will also generate new momentum for Hunan's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative.
