Lower ticket prices for scenic sites will boost tourism

IN HIS Government Work Report, delivered to the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, in Beijing on March 5, Premier Li Keqiang vowed to lower ticket prices at key State tourist sites. Cjn.cn comments:

Being written into the Government Work Report means the ticket prices for key tourist sites will be reduced soon.

For instance, Xishuangbanna scenic site in Southwest China's Yunnan province, a famous tourist destination, has announced it will be free for locals, which is the first of its kind in China and sets a good example for others to follow.
