Tourism growth makes Heping a holiday hot spot

Visitors packed the narrow, cobblestone lanes of ancient Heping town in early February.

Located in East China's Fujian province, Heping turned into a tourism hot spot during the Spring Festival holiday, which took place last week.

Some posed for photos with ancient buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), while others were busy purchasing local specialties and snacking at the food stands on the streets.
