河北省张北县旅游局周二（5月10日）表示，5月1日起实施的每人次50元的门票收费合理合法。

 

It said money collected from tourists driving Grass Skyline, which is known as "China's Route 66", will be used for maintenance and environmental protection.

该旅游局表示，从“草原天路”游客身上收的钱将用于景区维护和环境保护。“草原天路”被誉为“中国的66号公路”。

 

“草原天路”（Grass Skyline）全长132.7公里，是连接崇礼滑雪温泉大区和张北草原风情大区的一条重要通道。蜿蜒的道路，配上湛蓝如洗的天空，以及路两侧的村庄、梯田、沟壑、山坡，让旅游爱好者蜂拥而至。
