People in Hefei, capital of East China's Anhui province, will find it easy to visit Cambodia, as a non-stop chartered flight is slated to be launched from the city to Siem Reap in late June.

Under the agreement by a local travel agency and a Cambodian airline, the first flight will be operated on June 28, followed by seven flights next month and five in August. The airline will put an A320 aircraft on the route. The flight time is four hours.

A six-day trip to Angkor Wat, for example, is priced at 4,980 yuan per person, said the agency.

On May 22, more than 40 tourists flew directly from Hefei Xinqiao Airport to Frankfurt, Germany. This was the first Euro-bound travel group from Xinqiao airport, and the round-trip ticket cost only 3800 yuan ($609.05) (tax excluded) per person.

Ever since the route to Frankfurt was launched on March 30, a number of tours have been introduced by travel agencies in Anhui province. Anhui residents can now travel to Europe at much lower cost. A 12-day journey including visits to France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland now costs only 14,300 yuan ($2291.96).

The trips are now quite popular, especially among senior citizens. As visa applications usually take one and a half months, those who are interested might want to start preparing early.

The Anhui Civil Airport Group is planning to open more international air routes in which passengers transfer in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou.

Starting on May 20, seven bus stations in the city of Hefei, Anhui province, including Hefei Bus Station, launched a mobile ticketing service via WeChat.

To use it, passengers can first search the public account "Hefei bus transport" via Wechat and then purchase bus tickets departing from Hefei through their phones.

WeChat online ticketing is available for all bus stations in Hefei, but for now, mobile ticketing via WeChat is only available in seven bus stations which belong to the group of Hefei Automobile Transport Company Ltd. They are Hefei Bus Station, Hefei Bus Station (South District), Hefei Jinhu Station, Hefei Tourism Station, Hefei South Bus Station, Hefei West Bus Station and Hefei Transport Terminal. In the future, it's estimated that buying tickets via WeChat will be acceptable in all the city's bus stations.

As a reminder, an identity card and a valid account registered with your phone number are compulsory for WeChat booking. In addition, passengers need to pay by bank card which is also registered with a WeChat account.

Professor Qian Zhu from University of Waterloo came to AAU to give lectures.

His major research areas are the international comparison of city planning and policy, land use planning and city form, Chinese city land reform and policy, historical city and district protection planning.

From Nov 11th to 14th, AAU takes part in the fourth Anhui province foreign students culture learning activities.
