A tourist destination in Central China's Hunan province will not charge the admission fee from tourists when they visit Fenghuang old town, local authorities said Monday.

Each tourist currently pays 148 yuan ($23) to enter Fenghuang, known as "China's most beautiful old town" for its well-preserved architecture dating back more than 300 years.
