One-day Tours of Modern Econnmic Sites

To promote the ongoing achievements of Beijing's economic devel-opment and the country's opening up, new routes for one-day tours of the city for tourists and other visitors are now available. This new approach to local tourism, in the past largely confined to historic and cultural sites, has brought a colorful new dimension to education about Beijing.

The new routes focus on sectors such as technology, environmental protection and modern industry and agriculture, examples being the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area at Yizhuang; Capital Iron and Steel Company; the Air-Quality Observation Center of the Environmental Protection Bureau; Wangfujing Pedestrian Street; Gaobeidian Waste Water Plant; Beijing Transportation Bureau; and the China Science and Technology Museum.

Tourism officials are pleased at response to this new-look form of tourism, which throws new light on what makes Beijing tick. Numerous groups, including those made up of local senior and middle-aged citizens as well as individual foreign tourists, have enjoyed the tours. And on International Women's Day, numerous corporations booked places on the tours as gifts for female employees.
