Zhangjiajie scenic spots reopen for tourism

Scenic spots will continue to implement measures for COVID-19 prevention and control, including reservations and crowd flow restrictions.

All tourists entering the scenic spots should wear face masks and show their 14-day digital itinerary codes and health codes. All front-line workers at the scenic areas must get vaccinated.

Accommodations, catering and other travel-related services and institutions can resume normal operations if they implement regular epidemic prevention and control measures.

Other outdoor and indoor scenic spots in Zhangjiajie will open in succession after the high-risk period has passed. The resumption of all scenic spots is expected to be completed in early September.

The city also offers subsidies for flight tickets and is carrying out various promotional activities to jump-start its tourism market.

According to local media reports, the city's airport remains suspended, but tickets will be available for flights from the city on Aug 30.
