Scenic Spots Revamp, Tourist Complain

Tourists are complaining that they were not warned about the major renovation work at Beijing's most famous attractions, like the Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven.

 

The Beijing Daily Messenger reports these sites lack notices warning visitors about the renovation work, causing tourists pay full admission prices to visit a place resembling a building site.

 

Many travelers say paying to enter sites where they can't see most of the historic buildings is the biggest regret of their trip.

 

China Consumer Association counselor Qiu Baochang says admission fees should be adjusted to account for the fact the most of the sites are currently off limits to the public.

 

He says the tourist attraction management is responsible for informing tourists of the renovation works.
