In other areas, the Law on Environmental Protection, the Law for the Protection of Regulations for the Administration of Scenic Spots, and Regulations on the Domestic Transport of Passengers and Luggage are also effective. These Legal instruments guarantee standardized services that foreigners are entitled to while in China.
