Traveling has always been a good way to relax. But this is not true for Xiao Lin (not her real name).
In November, Xiao Lin took a trip to Lijiang, a tourist city in Yunnan province, and haddinner at a restaurant. She had a fight with a group oflocal people because they made a joke abouther while she was eating. Later, they beat her heavily and her face was injured badly, reportedCCTV.
This made the public very angry. In fact, she is not the first person to be injured at famous scenic spots (景区) in China. Last month, the National Toztrism Administration (国家旅游局) gave serious warnings to three national SA scenic spots. It also asked them to change and improve in six months.
The three spots are the Old Town of Lijiang, Jingpo Lake in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, and Laohutan Ocean Park in Dalian, Liaoning. According to People's Daily, the three spots received the most complaints（投诉）from visitors during this Spring Festival.
"We're sorry for our bad work," the Old Town of Lijiang government wrote on its Sina Weibo account. "We are open to tourists' suggestions, and will make things right."
If the three spots don't correct themselves in six months, the National Tourism Administration will remove them from the 5-A scenic spot list, reported Guangming Daily.
"I'm glad to hear that the spots will improve themselves," said a Sina Weibo user, who once went to Lijiang but had a bad experience there. "I hope they will change into better ones."
