More scenic attractions and museums reopened and travel restrictions have been loosened in Qingdao, Shandong province as the novel coronavirus outbreak subsides around the country.

With its gentle breeze and warm sunshine, spring is lifting spirits in Qingdao. Many are shedding their winter coats and going outdoors for a breath of fresh air.

However, due to the lingering danger of cross-infection, visitors are still required to have their temperature checked before entering scenic spots, maintain a distance of no less than 1.5 meters from others while standing in queues, and wear masks during their stay.
