Zhejiang-Aksu #2
 | A320-214 | Loong Air |
This is the second of two schemes promoting the east-west connection between Loong Air's Zhejiang and the Aksu region in Xinjiang, Western China. The initiative is the result of cooperation with the local tourism authorities and aims at increasing tourism and connectivity with the Aksu region - which was known as the Kucha Buddhist kingdom (Qiūcí in Chinese) during the Silk Road era.
As is the case for the first scheme (B-8433), the rear part of the livery depicts Zhejiang with Leifeng Pagoda, West Lake and elements of the Hangzhou skyline visible. The center and front part show landscape and culture from the Aksu region: Kezi'er Ga Hafengsui (Kizil Gaha Beacon Tower) is visible just aft of the wing; a camel caravan as well as Kucha musicians and dancers can be seen on the front part, with a ribbon symbolizing the silk road.
