Tourism recovering on China's tourist island

After scanning the health QR codes, Wang Tao and his wife had their body temperature checked and their hands sanitized before entering Tianyahaijiao scenic spot in Sanya, a resort city of south China's island province of Hainan.

"The staff did a very good job here for the coronavirus prevention and control, so we are not worried about the safety," said Wang from east China's Zhejiang province.

It was their first travel to the tropical island, taking wedding photos at Tianyahaijiao, a popular attraction for newlyweds which literally means the "edges of heaven and corners of the sea."

All A-level tourist sites in the city of Sanya have resumed operation since Feb 21, attracting more and more tourists, as the epidemic situation across the country is turning positive.

Chen Dejiang, a tourist from south China's Guangdong province, has planned to stay in Sanya with his wife for several days. "My aquatic products business is bleak now, so I grab this chance to take a vacation," he said, adding that he felt very safe in Hainan where the epidemic has been under control.
