区别对待中外游客？涉事景区致歉

9月10日，视频博主“蓝战非”在抖音上发布视频称，在湖北襄阳唐城景区游览、观看演出时，景区对中外游客区别对待，将普通游客集中限制在固定区域观看，并被要求给11个外国人让座。

Popular Chinese blogger Lan Zhanfei recently posted a video on Douyin, expressing his dissatisfaction with an extremely unfair experience he had at the Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base tourist site in Hubei province. During his visit, tourists were confined to a designated area and were compelled to relinquish their seats to accommodate 11 foreign visitors before the start of a show.

These practices quickly sparked widespread criticism from netizens on Douyin and the social media platform Sina Weibo after Lan posted the video. The video received 415,000 likes from netizens, while more than 61,000 people expressed their anger and frustration on Douyin.

Lan pointed out that there were thousands of tourists eagerly waiting to watch the show in Xiangyang, and each individual had invested 126 yuan ($18) to be there.

While the Xiangyang Municipal Office of Culture and Tourism stated that they would 'investigate and verify the facts', the official Douyin accounts of both the Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base and the Xiangyang Municipal Office of Culture and Tourism have become private accounts.

On Sunday evening, the "Xiangyang Shengshi Tangcheng" WeChat public account issued an apology letter. In the letter, it was mentioned that the scenic area had designated certain performance areas for an event involving foreigners that evening which resulted in a delay of the performance by nearly 7 minutes, affecting the overall tourist experience. 

As a gesture of apology, all visitors who purchased tickets for September 9 will be entitled to a one-time free visit to the scenic area within the next year.
