Park administrators in Beijing are apparently unprepared to make Vice-Mayor Zhang Mao's promise of offering free admission to most of the parks in the city a reality. Zhang, responsible for tourism and economic development, told a work conference on Tuesday that all the non-heritage protected small parks and museums should be made available to the residents free of charge by the end of this year.
