Reporters, travel agents get 'living business cards'

Journalists from about 50 media organizations and representatives from about 70 travel agencies attended a conference in Beijing promoting tourism in Huai'an, Jiangsu province, on Sunday. Each received a U-disk with photos of Hongze Lake's hairy crabs and lobsters from Xuyi, a county under Huai'an's administration, the Yangtze Evening News reported.

Huai'an's Party chief Liu Yongzhong told participants he hoped they would remember his city's two "living business cards" - Hongze Lake and Huaiyang School of Chinese Cuisine.
