BEIJING,set tinh duc Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese mainland will soon resume group tour services for residents of Fujian and Shanghai to Taiwan, said the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Friday.
The move aims to restore normal interactions between people across the Taiwan Strait and facilitate their regular exchanges in various fields, the ministry said in an announcement released on its official website.
