10 scenic attractions ordered to shape up
A senior official with the Ministry of Construction yesterday named and shamed the management teams at 10 of the country's top scenic spots for their bad practices.
The places could lose their national status, and the privileges that go with the designation, unless they rectify their problems in time, Li Dongxu, the director of the ministry's department of urban construction, and head of the office overseeing the management of scenic spots nationwide, told reporters in Beijing.
The attractions suffer from chaotic management, inadequate planning and rampant illegal construction within their areas, he said.
