Dear medical workers,

We were all caught off guard by a new coronavirus at the start of the year. At a time when families were supposed to be together to celebrate the Spring Festival, you became fearless and determined “retrograders”, and went to the affected area to courageously and lovingly assume the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the nation with professionalism and dedication. You are parents, children, siblings, but you set aside your immediate families and took the national family into consideration.

Every era has its “heroes”. At this very moment, you who battle at the frontlines to rescue the sick and the dying, and rise to challenges, are the great heroes of our time. Our greatest respect to all frontline medical workers! Although the epidemic has yet to end, we firmly believe that spring will come. You will be able to triumph over the coronavirus, and return home safely!

To express our respect, admission to the scenic areas operated by Yintai Tourism under Yintai Group will be free of charge to all medical personnel nationwide in 2020. You are welcome to tour the famous mountains and rivers as well as historic sites of the country, and experience local customs and practices, so that you can rest, relax and recuperate, help build the nation in good health, and live happy lives. We look forward to your visit!

From the official opening of the scenic areas at the end of the epidemic to December 31, 2020, medical personnel nationwide (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) are entitled to free admission at the scenic areas operated by Yintai Tourism based on valid IDs (personal ID + personal medical personnel certification).

The participating scenic areas are:
