Zhejiang welcomes Hong Kong tour group

A group of 18 tourists from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region arrived at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, on Wednesday evening.

It was the first tour group from Hong Kong to visit Zhejiang since the Feb 6 resumption of normal travel between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.

"The last time I was in Hangzhou was in 2003," said 74-year-old Wong Shuk-yee, a veteran actress in the group.

Wong was doing film work at Hengdian World Studios in Jinhua and had one day off to hastily travel around a couple of cities, including Hangzhou.
