During this year's National Day golden week, residents from the city of Hefei, Anhui province, might be able to enjoy 50 percent off if they are traveling to designated spots in the Hefei economic circle.

This promotion is part of a tourism integration campaign for the Hefei economic circle. According to the Tongcheng city tourism bureau, the first batch of half-price spots is expected to be available by this National Day holiday. The total number of spots is likely to amount to 50 in three years. Also, an eagerly-awaited tour bus route from Hefei city to Dingyuan county will open before October.

All the cities within the Hefei economic circle, including Chuzhou city, a new member of the circle, plan to have a tourism promotion campaign in Beijing this October.
