Deputy Zhou Jiabin, secretary of the municipal party committee, revealed a detailed detail of the scene in an interview with the media——

At that time, Zhou Jiabin reported to General Secretary Xi Jinping that Guilin Elephant Trunk Mountain Park had been opened to tourists free of charge before the Spring Festival this year.

"Is it a temporary measure, or is it permanently open?" General Secretary Xi Jinping asked with concern.

"It's free forever." Zhou Jiabin replied.

"That's the right thing to do." General Secretary Xi Jinping fully affirmed.
