China News Network Lanzhou, April 1st (Zhang Jing) On the 1st, the two world cultural heritage sites in Tianshui Maijishan Grottoes and Yongjing Bingling Temple Grottoes were gradually opened to tourists. Due to the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the two sites that have been "closed" for a long time will only be open to the open-air scenic area of the scenic spot after the restart. At this point, Gansu, which has 7 world cultural heritage sites, has opened 5 sites since mid-late March.
Different from the past, the two scenic spots have made corresponding adjustments to the tour area, service content, and ticket purchase methods. Among them, the Bingling Temple Grottoes located in Yongjing County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture are not allowed to visit freely. They must be a group of 10 people (or less than 10 people), and guided by a full-time instructor on a prescribed route. To avoid the risk of cross-infection caused by the repeated use of audio-guided equipment, the scenic spot does not provide audio-guided equipment. The guides use portable speakers to provide explanation services.
