The specific price reduction range is determined by the scenic spot itself within the prescribed scope. The reference price for price reduction of government-guided scenic spots is the highest ticket price stipulated by the development and reform departments at all levels, and the reference price for price reduction of market-regulated scenic spots is the ticket price executed on the same day issued by the provincial government's Notice on Printing and Distributing the List of High-quality Development Policies of "Striving for Stability" in 2022 (No.8 [2022]).

The second is active military personnel. Third, the survivors of martyrs, soldiers who died in the line of duty and deceased soldiers (survivors include martyrs' spouses, parents or caregivers, children of martyrs, soldiers who died in the line of duty and deceased soldiers, and brothers and sisters who have the obligation to support). Fourth, retired military cadres and noncommissioned officers (noncommissioned officers). The fifth is fire rescue personnel.

Government-invested parks are free for retired soldiers. (3) In the scenic spots where government-guided price management is implemented, the half-ticket system is implemented for minors aged 6- 18 and full-time undergraduate and below students.

Unless otherwise stipulated by the state and the province, such provisions shall prevail. Third, support the implementation of joint ticket prices in scenic spots of tourist routes. On the basis of retaining a single ticket, all localities and scenic spots can implement the joint ticket price, support the implementation of the one-ticket multi-day use system, and further increase the preferential margin. The joint ticket prices of tourist routes and scenic spots shall be subject to market adjustment prices, which shall be determined by the relevant scenic spots through independent consultation. Fourth, seriously organize and implement the requirements of the Notice. Municipalities should conscientiously do a good job in the implementation and deployment of tickets for state-owned scenic spots and special group concessions.
