        "question": "Which cities in Taiwan can I fly from to reach China?",
        "answer": "Four cities in Taiwan have nonstop flights to China: Taipei (TPE), Taipei Songshan (TSA), Kaohsiung (KHH), and Taichung (RMQ). Taipei Taoyuan is by far the largest gateway, with 344 weekly flights to 14 Chinese cities and typical flight times of 1h 50m to 3h 30m, followed by Taipei Songshan with 93 weekly flights to 7 Chinese cities and typical times of 1h 40m to 3h 20m. Kaohsiung offers 50 weekly flights to 7 Chinese cities with typical times of 1h 30m to 3h 20m, while Taichung has just one weekly flight to Nanjing at 2h 10m. Travellers choose a departure airport based on convenience and origin location, since Kaohsiung serves the south and Taichung the center, though Taipei Taoyuan's far greater frequency and city coverage make it the most practical choice for most travellers.",
        "methodology": "Departure cities and their weekly nonstop flights come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We list every city in the origin country with scheduled nonstop service to an airport in the destination, busiest first.",

        "question": "Which airports in Taiwan are usually cheapest for flying to China?",
        "answer": "Taipei Taoyuan is the main hub and usually offers the cheapest fares and most frequent flights to China. Kaohsiung also has some direct options but tends to have higher prices and fewer routes. Travellers from smaller Taiwanese cities will generally need to connect through Taipei first."
