Imagine you are visiting a tourist spot and there you are given an opportunity to scoop up thousands of dollars for free. Sounds too good to be true? Not really.

Authorities of a scenic spot offered five million yuan ($750,000) at a blast glass room for 10 tourists to grab as much as they could in one minute in Hangzhou city, East China's Zhejiang province on Tuesday.

Songcheng Group invited 10 tourists to participate in the event about 10 days ago through its official account on messaging app WeChat .

A woman surnamed Lu, from Quzhou city in Zhejiang province, was the luckiest one, since she grabbed 18,300 yuan in one minute.

"The move is to show our thanks to our tourists," said the event's organizer.
