China's heavenly Zhangjiajie a magnet for Vietnamese tourists

Zhangjiajie, a picturesque city in central China, is regarded by many foreign tourists as paradise on Earth, while an increasing number of Vietnamese travel agencies and airlines view it as a money magnet.

"Zhangjiajie looks like an Elysium on Earth, with its bewitching scenery. It lures numerous foreign visitors, including Vietnamese," Nguyen Duc Tam, vice-president of VietJet, Vietnam's first budget airline, said on Wednesday in Hanoi.

He was speaking at a ceremony in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, to promote tourism between the Chinese city and Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular.
