"Local visitors can have free access to Jiufeng Mountain Scenic Spot and the tickets for outside tourists are only 20 yuan." "The view is fabulous along the 100-kilometer free-access footpath." "The low travel cost makes it affordable to travel in Beilun District." These are just some of the comments by tourists on the local online forum and microblogs, speaking highly of the low-expenditure eco-tourism in Beilun District.

"In the first three days of the holiday, the total passenger volume by the public traffic system reached over 210,000, up by 30% over the same period last year. Last year, the tourists focused on the golden traveling line of 'Fenghuang Mountain-Jiufeng Mountain-Yangsha Mountain', and this year, the tourists poured to almost all the corners of the central eco-zone with an area of 100 square kilometers." said Su Shengwei, Deputy General Manager of Beilun Public Transportation Company, who has been paying attention to the tourist distribution and the command and adjustment of vehicles the past few days. Different from the previous years, besides the tourism in the traditional mountain areas, the tourists to the green landscape and leisure zones in the downtown area and to the shopping malls also exploded.

Such hot spots as Fenghuang Mountain Amusement Park and the downtown Central Square were crowded with tourists. "In this holiday, by taking a walk under the green street trees and in the parks full of osmanthus fragrance, people can enjoy a green life even in the downtown area without having to go to the mountain areas." "Eco-green" is becoming a new feature of Beilun District.

In the past few years, Beilun District has made great efforts to achieve the "green transformation" by investing over two billion yuan in building "forest Beilun". So far, the forest coverage rate in the district has reached 45.9%, and the coverage rate in the urban area has reached 35.2%.

"We are now in the harvest period for our livelihood traveling." said an official from Beilun District Tourism Burea. Taking into consideration the demand for outdoor space proposed by the urban development of Ningbo, Beilun District is making full use of its green transformation and rich eco-resources to accelerate the transformation of urban green space facilities and develop the balanced eco-tourism pattern covering both urban and mountainous areas
