The eastern coastal city of Qingdao, Shandong province has been reopening some of its tourism businesses as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak shows signs of slowing in China.

Local residents and visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the eastern costal city in early spring at outdoor tourism spots.

Some scenic sites in the city will require real-name reservations to enter, and all tourists will receive health checkups at entrance gates and should wear masks.
