Enjoy outdoor scenery amid anti-virus measures

China Daily  

Aerial view of Taiping Lake in Huangshan, East China's Anhui province. Owing to relaxed travel restrictions, Chinese people exhibited zest for outdoor experiences over the three-day holiday for Tomb-sweeping Day that ended Monday, cramming tourist spots. Early on the morning of April 5, the operator of the Huangshan mountain park in eastern China's Anhui province released three Sina Weibo posts, advising tourists against entering the scenic spot on that day as the park had become too crowded. In Shanghai, the downtown Century Park in Pudong New District had its online tickets sold out for the holiday, a time for Chinese people to pay tribute to the deceased and worship their ancestors as well as to enjoy the outdoor greenery in spring. Zhan Dongmei, head of tourist spot studies with the China Tourism Academy, said as the COVID-19 epidemic had not come to an end and the whole nation faced risks of imported cases, tourist safety and health were the top concern in resuming domestic tourism sector.
