East China's Anhui Province has opened more hotels to foreigners in 17 cities and the two scenic areas of Huangshan Mountain and Jiuhuashan Mountain.
By the end of September, foreigners will no longer be required to live in government-designated hotels, which will make their stay and travel in the province more convenient, according to a regulation of Anhui Provincial Security Department.
Anhui had earlier eased the restrictions in the cities of Hefei, Ma'anshan, Fuyang and Huangshan as well as the scenic area of Huangshan Mountain in a pilot program.
