China will release daily information in popular tourism areas from Sept. 30 to Oct. 8 through major Chinese media, sources with the Public Security Ministry said here Monday.

The daily information will mainly include traffic reports and accidents in 28 major scenic spots, major traffic accidents in 31 tourism cities, and other necessary information tourists should hear before traveling.

The daily information will be publicized through China's three major media, the Xinhua News Agency, the Central People's Broadcasting Station of China, and China Central Television.

The 28 major scenic spots include the Potala Palace in Tibet, the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Jiuzhaigou Natural Scenic Reserve and the Yellow Dragon Resort, and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

The 31 key tourism cities include Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Kunming, and Xi'an.

Since the National Day was first officially prolonged to seven days in 1999, the holidays have become a "golden week" for the economy. With more people encouraged to travel across the country, traffic problems have become a major concern of the government.

During the last National Day holidays, China reported a total number of over 80 million tourists.
