The Chinese Innsbruck, but better

Hello everyone,
Earlier today I decided to fly in China as it’s a region I rarely visit in IF. I didn’t want to do one of the dull coastal flights to Shanghai or somewhere, so I looked around for a bit for a route, and found an Air China route from Nyingchi in the mountainous south of the country to the regional capital of Chengdu.

I was to discover it was an absolute gem of a route.

Enjoy!

I made a post about this airport a couple months ago calling it ‘the Chinese Paro airport’ because the approach reminded me so much of Paro but even more challenging! Highly recommend to try the approach into ZUNZ! It’s definitely a gem of an airport
