Chinese Sent Packing
Posted on: Monday, 25 July 2005, 06:00 CDT
SMILING Sun Kinhjun and friend Li Lin were among the 80 tourists on the first Chinese package tour to Britain which flew in yesterday.
Engineer Sun, 24, and student Li, 20, touched down at Heathrow airport and will visit the London Eye, Oxford and Stratford-upon- Avon.
Until now complicated restrictions on travel meant Chinese citizens were only allowed in the UK on business, to study or visit relatives.
One million Chinese people are expected to visit every year by 2020.
