FINAL CALL!

Our Travel Consultant, Shevaughan, has just returned from a familiarisation trip to China – including Beijing and Datong surrounds. Shevaughan flew with Air China and found the airline to be a good standard.

Shougang Industry Heritage Park is located one hour to the west of Beijing City. Shougang is a repurposed industrial park which amongst a range of activities was the venue for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics Ski Jump platform. There is a distinctive view of Beijing’s skyline, the nearby Qunming Lake, and the Olympic rings.

Within the Park is The No.1 Blast Furnace SoReal Sci-Fi Park, which is an immersive entertainment destination that features over 50 interactive installations based on space and cyberpunk themes across five floors, including VR, AI, and thrilling rides for children. The developers have shown remarkable innovation in creating a space that everyone can enjoy. 

If you’re planning a Beijing and region tour, then Shevaughan can assist.

Parking changes at Auckland Domestic Terminal. Our Auckland-based Domestic Travellers who drive to the airport should note some changes to the parking at the Domestic Terminal from 01 August. Construction begins on the expansion of the regional airfield, meaning that Car Park M, directly outside the domestic terminal, will be reduced to make way for four new regional aircraft parking positions and as such, M will only be available for single-day, drive-up parking suitable for same-day travellers. For stays longer than 24 hours, use Car Park K, which is a five-minute walk from the terminal with a covered walkway. There’s also Car Park O, a three-minute walk. Access to the Air New Zealand Valet Service in the Domestic terminal is not affected.
