Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei deal to promote landscape tourism in area

Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province will jointly develop landscape tourism in their boundary areas, according to a cooperation agreement signed last week.

Landscape tourism refers to places people can go to enjoy natural scenery.

Five pairs of demonstration areas will be set up along the borders, for example, one connecting Shidu Scenic Spot in Beijing's Fangshan district and Yesanpo Scenic Area in Baoding. Four other areas in Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Chengde and Zhangjiakou are also included.
