An air route was opened in Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Friday, linking the scenic city of Guilin and Japanese Osaka.

China Eastern Airlines adopted a Boeing 737 aircraft to fly the air route which can carry about 120 passengers, according to the company.

The plane flies every Friday. Flight MU367 takes off from Guilin at 9:45 a.m. (Beijing time) and arrives in Osaka at 3:20 p. m. (local time) via Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province.

The return flight MU368 takes off at 4:10 p.m.(local time) and arrives in Guilin at 8:40 p.m. (Beijing time) via Wuhan.

It is the second airline between Guilin and Japan after the air route to Fukuoka. Last year, there were 79,000 Japanese tourists visited the city.
