[Reporter Hong Ruiqin/Tainan Report] Due to the impact of the epidemic, the large-scale Lina line with "more days on the shore than at sea", the Tainan Anping-Penghu Magong route finally opened for the third time today (3), and nearly 200 passengers took the cruise. There are parent-child groups, and there are cyclists who want to rush with their favorite cars; the staff of the shipping company are also happy to praise and say "the boat is finally going to sail"!

To promote the wave of domestic island-hopping tourism, Nanshi and Eastern Union Shipping Co., Ltd. have cooperated to restart the direct flight route from Anping, Tainan to Magong, Penghu. Today, a lively opening ceremony was held at the Anping Port Wharf. Lin Jianhong, Director of Anping Port Operations, and others attended the event.

The city government also specially prepared a local agricultural specialty "Salt Water Handsome Tomato Dried Fruit" as a gift to passengers on the inaugural flight to celebrate the restart of the "Blue Highway" in southern Taiwan.

Huang Weizhe said that the "Lina Ship" between Tainan and Penghu has officially set sail since April 2021. Although it has been suspended due to factors such as the epidemic and weather during the period, it has continued to work hard to plan and prepare, and it will sail again today. Whether you are a native of Tainan or a tourist from all over the world, it is more convenient to travel to and from Tainan and Penghu. You are also welcome to seize the opportunity when taking the "Lina Ferry" to bring back Tainan's agricultural specialties to share with family and friends.

Tainan sends tourists to Penghu to play, and they don’t forget to sell their own good things. The sailing venue is filled with Tainan’s local agricultural products promoted by the "Southern Best" label. To celebrate the resumption of the Lina cruise, many items have buy 2 get free 1st class limited promotion offer, "Take Lina to enjoy the taste of Tainan".

Hong Yuhang, general manager of China Eastern Airlines Intermodal Lina, said that it carried nearly 200 tourists today, and was very happy that Lina finally started sailing again after the epidemic. This year, due to the unblocking of borders and the increase of tourists going abroad, it may impact the international travel market. There is no obvious return yet. Wen, but the booking situation for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in June is very good and the strong summer vacation is coming. I am optimistic that Lina will drive a new wave of island-hopping tours in China.

When Tainan sends tourists to Penghu, it also does not forget to sell its own agricultural products.
