NANCHANG (July 27): If the legendary Chinese poet Li Bai were alive today, he would be astonished to find himself beloved by modern youngsters, not just for his lyrical genius but also because his verses now grant free entry to many scenic spots.

Lushan Mountain, a Unesco World Heritage site in east China’s Jiangxi Province, is offering free entry to students who can successfully recite Li Bai’s 200-character poetry masterpiece, “A Ballad of Lushan Mountain.”
