The unique college entrance examination has also come to an end, and it is also the peak moment of domestic tourism.

Therefore, under this wave, Many scenic spots will launch discount activities to attract tourists to travel, and the strength of the discounts is directly related to tourists' enthusiasm for traveling.

Therefore, in order to attract tourists, this scenic spot once charged fees based on surnames. During the past publicity period, Laojun Mountain was very willful and charged fees based on surnames. In 2012, it was free for tourists surnamed Li. In 2013, it was free of charge for tourists with the surname Zhang. This was because the original name of the old man was Li Er, and the original name of the founder of Taoism was Zhang Daoling, so it was very arbitrary to provide free admission to these two surnames.

03 The two major surnames have a large population in the country, and tourists are calling for it to be held again
