One of India's most famous landmarks¹, the Taj Mahal, is planning to place a three-hour cap on visits to avoid overcrowding at the popular tourist location.

 

泰姬陵是印度最著名的地标建筑之一。为避免这一著名景点过于拥挤，印度计划将游客每次游览泰姬陵的时间限制在3小时以内。
 

 

The enormous white marble tomb, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can attract at least 50,000 visitors a day on the weekend, according to a spokesman for the Archaeological Survey of India, which oversees² the Taj Mahal.

 

"Sometimes people end up spending a whole day at the Taj. This creates a situation where there are too many people," the spokesman D N Dimri told CNN.

 

"It is being implemented³ so that the movement of visitors can be regulated. Day by day, the number of visitors are increasing. This is to ensure no untoward⁴ incidents or accidents occur."

 

He added there had been no incidents due to overcrowding at the site.
