Over 1,000 people traveled on the first day of "limited time" group tours from Taiwan to mainland China. Only tourists who have completed the registration procedures are allowed to travel in groups from March to the end of May.
Popular destinations include Jiuzhaigou, Chongqing, and Zhangjiajie. Some tourists from the "first tour group" expressed the hope that the Taiwan authorities will loosen the "ban on group tours" as soon as possible, which is a good thing for positive cross-strait interaction.
