More tourist sites in the Chinese mainland reopened on Sunday after closing for two months to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus epidemic.

The city of Qufu in East China's Shandong Province, also known as the hometown of Confucius, opened its signature tourist attractions including the Cemetery of Confucius, the Confucius Temple and the Kong Family Mansion.

More than 100 tourists visited these sites after their reopening on Sunday.

The southwestern municipality of Chongqing has also reopened its well-known river tours, as local authorities maintain their vigilance.

The boats, which ride along the Yangtze River and Jialing River as they pass by the city, will only operate at half capacity, while the operators have strengthened daily disinfection efforts.

Tourists are required to wear face masks and pass through temperature checkpoints upon entering these reopened tourist sites.
