　　North China's Tianjin Municipality***直轄市*** has started a "Blue Sky Project" to control the air pollution.

　　Under the project requirements, the air quality in Tianjin is expected to measure up to the national standard by 2007, when two thirds of days in the year will enjoy fairly good or excellent air quality.

　　In order to achieve the goal, Tianjin will take a series of measures such as controlling the use of coal, reducing the dust floating from construction sites, planting trees along the major streets, and replacing petrol with liquid natural gas as the fuel for vehicles.

　　Since people paid little attention to the environmental protection, the air quality in Tianjin has worsened during the past decade. The project has received wide praise and support from the natives.

　　The newly-discovered "Great Wall" in south China's Hunan Province will open to visitors in the near future.

　　"We will try to make it an internationally famous attraction for tourists, " said Yuan Xinhua, director of the Hunan Provincial Tourism Administration***管理局***.
