China has dismantled more than 1.9 million square meters of development in 2,000 hotels, restaurants and holiday resorts surrounding scenic spots throughout the country, greatly improving the scenic environments.
At a conference on comprehensive regulation of scenery on Saturday, Qiu Baoxing, vice president of the Ministry of Construction, said the ministry has vetoed more than 1,000 construction projects that would damage the resources and environments of scenic areas, and has dismantled about 1.4 million square meters of illegally constructed buildings.
Over 2,000 hotels, restaurants and holiday resorts were removed, and 78, 000 residents have been relocated from the scenic spots.
Qiu said China boasts 181 national scenic spots and 480 famous tourist attractions at the provincial level. However, ten national scenic spots are not up to national standards, while 40 others barely meet it. Some scenic spots have not finished with planning, and some are threatened by serious managerial problems.
The construction ministry requires that reforms should be carried out in these areas before next June, or their nominations may be withdrawn.
The ministry started comprehensive regulation of national scenic spots in 2003.
中国拆毁了风景区附近190多平方米的2000座建筑,包括旅馆、餐馆和假日胜地，大大提高了自然风景区的自然环境。
建设部副部长仇保兴在周日举行关于风景综合整治会议上发表，建设部已经否决威胁自然风景资源环境的1000多个建设工程，与及拆毁约140平方米的非法建筑。
2000多个旅馆、餐馆和假日用地被移走，78,000市民从自然风景区移走。
仇保兴说，中国夸大有181个国家自然风景区和480个有名的省级旅游巡览。然而有10个国家自然风景区没有达到国家标准，其他40个几乎是达不到这个标准。一边自然风景区的规划还没完成，另一边管理问题又威胁着。
明年六月份之前对这些地区实行改革，否则提名建设部候选人就会被撤消。
2003年，建设部实行了国家自然风景区综合整治。
