On Aug. 29, four tourists who lost their way in a nature reserve in Guangxi's Jinxiu Yao Autonomous Region were given fines of 2,000 yuan each.
Their rescue came after the group traveled from Nanning to Dayaoshan Nature Reserve on Aug. 27 to watch the sunrise. Once they became lost, they called the police for help. Local police, together with employees from the nature reserve, organized a team of 70 people to search for the lost tourists. They were finally found and taken back to Jinxiu County the next morning.
According to police, a few groups of tourists have become lost in the reserve this summer. The local government has dedicated a lot of money and manpower to rescuing those tourists. Thus, they have come up with a suggestion: require tourists to obtain special permission before entering the nature reserve.
At the very least, tourists should comply with all regulations and avoid overly risky itineraries, said Zhang Jianlin, a tour guide with Guangxi International Travel Agency.
