Xiamen in East China's Fujian province has partially reopened its scenic spots as the COVID-19 epidemic wanes, with State-owned A-level scenic spots in the city offering free entry to tourists till June 30, according to an announcement released by the city's tourism bureau.
According to the announcement, tourist areas that have resumed operations will encourage visitors to reserve tickets online in advance, and go through real-name registration in order to control visitor flows and prevent large gatherings of people.
The tourist sites should accept no more than 30 percent of their daily visitor capacity, the announcement said.
Additionally, visitors are required to wear masks and have their temperatures taken before they are admitted. Visitors are also asked to maintain social distancing while they queue.
Tickets for all State-owned A-level scenic spots in Xiamen, including the popular Gulangyu Island, can be reserved online through the official WeChat account (visitxm) of the city's tourism bureau.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
