Offering Travellers More Direct Flight Options to Australia HONG KONG, June 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Airlines' inaugural flight between Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia, departed yesterday, making it the second local airline to operate this route and providing greater travel options for business, leisure, and transit passengers. To mark this new milestone in its network expansion, Hong Kong Airlines held celebratory events at both Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Sydney Airport (SYD). Prior to departure, a launch ceremony was held at the boarding gate of the HKIA. The event was attended by distinguished guests, including Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Ian McGraw from the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong; Ms Carmen Tam and Ms Vivien Yuen from Tourism Australia; Ms Jennifer Tung from Destination New South Wales; and Mr Ricky Chong from Airport Authority Hong Kong. The guests interacted with passengers and presented them with bespoke souvenirs to commemorate the historic occasion. During the event, Hong Kong Airlines President Mr Jeff Sun stated: "As a full-service local carrier, the launch of our Sydney service marks a significant step in our transformation to an international airline. Sydney is not only a popular destination for leisure and business travel but also one of Australia's most vital economic hubs. The expansion of the bilateral traffic rights agreement allows us to offer more choice to travellers in both cities, strengthening the connection between them." He added, "While Hong Kong Airlines may be a younger brand in the mature Australian market, we are endeavouring in our commitment to providing quality service. We operate this route with our Airbus A330 aircraft, featuring comfortable business and economy class cabins, and strive to deliver a passenger-centric in-flight experience through attentive service and fine dining for our long-haul customers." Sydney Airport CEO Mr Scott Charlton said: "We're proud to welcome Hong Kong Airlines to Sydney as our 52nd airline partner with its strong reputation for service excellence, efficiency and value. This inaugural service comes on the back of the first expansion in bilateral air traffic rights between Australia and Hong Kong in 19 years and we thank the Albanese Federal Government for its role in enabling this important agreement, which reflects the strength of our longstanding cultural and economic ties." NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper, said: "Hong Kong is a priority international market for NSW, with incoming travellers contributing substantially to the NSW visitor economy. The Minns Labor Government has made it very clear; we want to grow our visitor economy and the best way to do this is by increasing airline capacity and unlocking new international markets for NSW. We've set our sights on increasing the state's aviation capacity by 8.5 million seats, and this new Hong Kong route will complement other new routes we're securing as we work towards landing this goal." Mr Wang Yu, Consul General of People's Republic of China (Sydney), said: "As the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate the Hong Kong–Sydney route, Hong Kong Airlines not only provides a convenient new option for traveling between China and Australia, but also contributes to enhanced exchanges among students, tourists, business professionals and friends from all walks of life. This new service will strengthen Hong Kong and Sydney's role as vital gateways for the flow of people and goods, injecting fresh momentum into the economic and cultural ties between China and Australia. Its launch will also attract more international travelers to transit through Hong Kong or Sydney, further strengthening both cities' positions as global aviation hubs and creating new opportunities for trade and investment. Looking ahead, the Consulate-General of China in Sydney will continue to encourage and support airlines from both China and Australia in restoring or launching new routes based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. We believe that Hong Kong Airlines will continuously enhance its service quality and showcase a good corporate image."

Discovering fermentation culture in Sunchang
Nestled in a misty basin along the Seomjin River, Sunchang is more than just a quiet rural town in North Jeolla Province — it's a hub of flavor, tradition and science. Widely known as Korea's 'fermentation capital,' the town is drawing fresh attention after Korean jang-making was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in December 2024. Sunchang's humid microclimate offers ideal conditions for fermentation, with foggy days averaging 77 per year, 10 to 20 percent higher than other regions. This climatic advantage has made the city popular for traditional Korean condiments such as gochujang, doenjang and ganjang. But beyond these culinary staples, Sunchang is reimagining itself as a destination for cultural tourism, immersive education and sensory experiences centered on Korea's age-old fermentation techniques. Making fermentation fun The Sunchang Fermentation Theme Park is a facility dedicated to the science and storytelling of fermentation. With sleek architecture and interactive exhibits, the park bridges Korea's culinary history with innovative displays. Developed to reexplore the value of Korean traditional culture from a modern perspective, the park features themed sections such as the Fermented Sauce Cave, where visitors can explore Korean sauce varieties through media art, VR simulations and hands-on exhibits. Hongme Hall dives into the biological and chemical makeup of foods from nutrients and smells to digestion and preservation techniques, offering an engaging look at food science. Pangi Hall introduces children and adults alike to the invisible world of microbes through trampolines, air-juggling games and educational displays about microbial life cycles. Hyomo Hall (yeast hall) tells the global story of fermentation, from the history of nuruk, a traditional fermentation starter, to hands-on cooking classes. Guests can experience "hyomo cars," a creative bumper-car-like experience, and learn how yeast and bacteria create the complex profiles that define fermented foods. "The Fermentation Theme Park is the only place in the country where traditional cultural experiences and cutting-edge play content coexist in harmony," said Choi Yeong-il, Mayor of Sunchang County. "We will continue to expand seasonal programs and tourism infrastructure to make it a destination that can be enjoyed all year round." Village steeped in spice No visit to Sunchang is complete without a walk through the Sunchang Traditional Gochujang Folk Village, where rows of traditional earthenware crocks stand like sentinels in courtyards. Here, small-scale producers sell artisanal gochujang made with heirloom recipes. Many shops are housed in hanok-style buildings, evoking the feeling of stepping back in time. This is where renowned food artisan Kang Sun-ok learned her craft. 'Soy sauce, doenjang and gochujang are rich in amino acids, so it's beneficial to naturally supplement essential amino acids through healthy traditional foods," she said, emphasizing the nutritional richness of fermented condiments. Make your own makgeolli The Jiranjigyo Brewery in Sunchang offers fermentation lovers the chance to make their own makgeolli, a traditional Korean rice wine. The brewery's program includes kneading the rice, adding homemade nuruk and experiencing the full brewing process firsthand. Visitors sample various types of makgeolli, paired with freshly made pajeon (savory scallion pancake), while learning about the drink's texture, alcohol content and aroma profiles. The house specialty is brewed from underground rock-filtered water sourced from 751 meters below Sunchang's surface, combined with premium local rice and fermented for 100 days, followed by 90 days of aging. 'You have to dry the nuruk well in the sun so that harmful bacteria are eliminated, which ensures there's no unpleasant smell when making the alcohol,' explained brewery owner Lim Suk-ju. The result is an unfiltered rice wine with subtle fruity aromas. Nature's healing and adventure Beyond fermentation, Sunchang invites visitors to reconnect with nature. Gangcheonsan County Park offers dramatic rock formations, cool waterfalls and lush forest trails. The mountain's profile resembles a dragon rising skyward, and the scenery changes vividly with each season. After hiking, weary travelers can rejuvenate at the Gangcheon Healing Spa, a wellness center that taps into natural alkaline rock water from 791 meters underground. The facility features indoor and outdoor spa pools, therapy massages and thermal healing rooms. Sunchang is where food, health, culture and science come together over time and with care. Whether you come for the gochujang or the geography, the park rides or the probiotics, Sunchang offers a flavorful journey through Korea's living culinary heritage.
