I've only ever seen that term used in Taiwan.

Nevertheless, I had a delayed flight with SC (Shandong Airlines), between Lanzhou and Urumqi. There was a weather issue in Jinan (where the flight originated), and staff had no idea when the flight was going to get to Lanzhou.

Had I not known Chinese, I wouldn't have known about the biandang or the hotel rooms they provided.
