Tourism courts provide one-stop solutions for conflict

Low-level tribunals urge mediation instead of litigation, and provide convenient services for visitors. Cao Yin reports from Jinggangshan, Jiangxi.

Last month, Liang Jun, a judicial official in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi province, received a late-night phone call at home. After hanging up, he quickly drove a minibus bearing the logo "Tourism Court" to a restaurant near a scenic spot.

The call had been made by the restaurant's owner, who wanted to resolve an argument over a trivial matter between two groups of tourists.
