10 November 2006
A new state-of-the-art 24-hour video surveillance unit has been put in place to ensure the safety of tourists on Taishan Mountain in China.
Costing more than 9m yuan (£600,000), the system will be used to watch the area and will help to preserve precious relics in the region as well as preventing fires and protecting tourists.
With 27 outdoor camera terminals and 12 sub-centres, the system allows workers to monitor almost every inch of the mountain, reports the People's Daily.
Taishan Mountain has long been a popular tourist destination for both foreign visitors and Chinese nationals but safety has always been an issue.
The mountain covers a huge 426 square-kilometres and attracts around 2m people every year, which makes ensuring everybody's safety a tricky task.
Now the site has a comprehensive video monitoring system it is hoped that this will be improved.
