Guidelines aim for safer wildlife parks

Wildlife parks should have roads that allow visitors to drive their own vehicles and avoid contact with wild animals, according to a series of draft guidelines to protect tourists in Beijing's wildlife parks.

"The roads should be built with nets or glass walls to ensure that tourists' vehicles avoid contact with wild animals," said the draft guidelines, which were released by the Beijing municipal Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision for public comment.

The guidelines also stipulate that tourists should not get out of their vehicles, and they should leave sightseeing areas before the time required by the parks.
