Tourist sites in quake-impacted Hanzhong and Baoji cities in Shaanxi province will try to lure tourists with 50 percent discounts at some key attractions, the provincial government said yesterday.

Jing Junhai, vice-governor of Shaanxi, said tourist sites in the two cities will reopen gradually.

The National Tourism Administration has already allocated 1 million yuan ($142,800) to aid reconstruction work.

The provincial government also contributed 1 million yuan.
