Do you want to give up your seat to foreigners while watching a performance? Famous scenic spots: profound reflection
On September 10th, video blogger "Lan Zhanfei" released a video stating that when visiting and watching performances at Tangcheng Scenic Area in Xiangyang, Hubei, the scenic area treated Chinese and foreign tourists differently, limiting ordinary tourists to fixed areas for viewing and delaying performances to wait for late foreign tourists. The video sparked heated discussions among netizens.
On the evening of the 10th, the Shengshi Tangcheng Scenic Area issued an apology letter through its official social media account. The letter stated that the scenic area set up some performance areas for foreign affairs activities that night, and due to some reasons, the performance was delayed for nearly 7 minutes, affecting the tourist experience. To express apologies, all tourists who have purchased tickets for September 9th can visit the scenic area for free once within a year.

The blogger "Lan Zhanfei" stated in the video that he purchased a ticket for 126 yuan to enter. Afterwards, more than one or two thousand tourists were asked by the organizers to give up their seats to 11 foreigners, and the staff were required to watch within the designated warning line, not sitting on the ground, and not standing in front of foreign tourists. "The performance that originally started at 8:20 was delayed because these 11 foreigners were still eating, and we had to wait for them to come before we could start the performance."
He stated in the video that if there is an important reception in the scenic area, it should be temporarily closed and not treated differently after selling tickets to over a thousand tourists. According to the released live video, many tourists standing within the warning line had a dispute with the security guard, who demanded "don't crawl over, stand back." At the end of the video, someone shouted, "The performance at 8:20 is not yet starting, we need to wait for those foreigners."
