Unifying the ticket policy for China's ancient cities

Some classical Chinese cities, such as Pingyao in Shanxi province, Langzhong in Sichuan province, Huizhou in Anhui province and Anju in Chongqing are working on a unified plan on ticketing, which allows people to visit the cities at a lower cost.

There was an announcement after a meeting of the ancient city alliance, in Anju, recently, where the delegates explained that the matter is still being debated a lot, but if it is successful it will be an important step in their larger, collective development effort.

The four towns mentioned above got together to form the alliance a year ago so they could start the collective development of their heritage resources.
