It's easier than ever for international travelers to say "ni hao" to San Francisco.
San Francisco International Airport has launched a new Chinese-language Web site, the first American airport to do so, according to USA Today.
At FlySFO.cn, travelers can figure out flight information and things to do during a long layover in the Chinese language.
The airport has been meaning to add more languages to its offerings for some time, a spokesman for SFO said. But having a "purpose-built" website in a foreign tongue, versus mere translations of the existing site, is a new level.
**Attention Travelers** #SFO is the 1st Airport in the US to have a website in Chinese..visit http://t.co/MVLoCigHHJ to check it out #SFO — flySFO (@flySFO) September 3, 2014
And there's no chance of travelers in China being denied access to the site: It's hosted behind the firewall in the People's Republic of China, the newspaper reported.
Travel between the U.S. and China is happening more and more frequently, and SFO was a pioneer, befitting its status as the major hub in a region that has many Chinese-speakers.
