Cut chain of interest cheating tourists in Xi'an

China Daily | Updated: 2017-01-16 07:45

XI'AN CITY, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, is famous for its terra cotta warriors. However, some local companies make replicas of the terra cotta excavation sites and charge tourists high prices to visit them. A recent media report on this practice aroused nationwide attention, prompting Wang Yongkang, Party chief of Xi'an, to apologize to tourists and the local authorities to close some of the fake sites. Gmw.cn comments:

It may seem that the local authorities are rather "efficient" in dealing with tourists' complaints. However, false terra cotta sites have existed for years and tourists have issued hundreds of complaints against them, yet the local authorities did not do anything until a report aroused nationwide attention.

Therefore, it is more accurate to say the local authorities acted because of the media pressure, not of their own accord.
