NW China's tourist attraction Mount Huashan reopens to public

The Mount Huashan scenic area in Northwest China's Shaanxi province reopened Saturday, said its management administration.

The scenic attraction, which was closed on Jan 24 due to the COVID-19 epidemic, will offer free admission for medical workers until the end of this year, the administration said.

To enhance the COVID-19 prevention and control efforts, the scenic area will offer an online ticket booking service for tourists and impose a daily maximum capacity of 6,000 visitors, according to its management administration.

Huashan is one of China's five most famous scenic mountains and is known for its steep and perilous peaks.
