The China Southern Airlines flight from Guangzhou on July 3 was the first regularly scheduled flight between China and Taiwan in nearly six decades.

The first flight brought more than 100 Chinese tourists to Taiwan.

Taiwan's China Airlines also flew more than 300 Taiwanese on a charter flight to Shanghai earlier.

The regular weekend flights are part of a warming in relations between China and Taiwan, which split in 1949 amid a civil war. China claims the island as part of its territory.
