Attraction reopens during coronavirus crisis in China to thousands of visitors

A popular attraction in China reopened during the coronavirus crisis to tens of thousands of visitors at the weekend.

More than 20,000 Chinese were reportedly attracted by offers of free entry to Huangshan among other venues by the local government of Anhui Province in eastern China.

Park authorities had to close after the mountainous range became overwhelmed with visitors having reopened after closing on February 21 due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Great Wall of China is now welcoming tourists as is the Terra Cotta Army and Potala Palace.
