Beijing is a city where ancient history meets modern innovation.
From the grandeur of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall to contemporary marvels like the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing is a must-visit destination for culture and history lovers.
Meanwhile, Changsha, the bustling capital of Hunan Province, offers a unique mix of nature, history, and vibrant city life.
Explore landmarks like Orange Island Park and Yuelu Mountain, indulge in the fiery flavours of Hunan cuisine, and enjoy the city's thriving nightlife. Changsha's rapid economic growth also makes it a hub for business and innovation.
"These new routes reaffirm our commitment to providing greater connectivity and more travel options, while enhancing tourism and trade between Malaysia and China. As tourism between the two countries continues to thrive, the significance of these new connections becomes even more evident," said Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy, Batik Air CEO.
In 2023, Malaysia welcomed over 1.47 million Chinese visitors, a number that surged to 2.82 million in 2024 — a remarkable 92.5% increase.
With contributions of over RM8.83 billion from Chinese travellers last year, these new routes are set to further bolster Malaysia's tourism industry as part of the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign.
