Many scenic areas in the coastal city of Yantai, East China's Shandong province are offering discounted or free tickets to attract local tourists, and celebrate the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on June 3 this year.

The free tickets are also part of the city's efforts to boost the recovery of the culture and tourism sector, which was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

These tourist sites include the ancient architectural complex Penglai Pavilion, Changdao Island, Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park, Mushi Manor, and Penglai Aishan Mountain.
