Face scan for visitors to Mogao
Print Edition
The renowned Mogao Grottoes in northwest China鈥檚 Gansu Province will begin trial use of a facial recognition system for entrance from tomorrow to cope with the growing number of tourists and ticket scalping during peak travel seasons.
Visitors who have not purchased tickets online in advance will be able to buy emergency tickets via WeChat and then scan their ID cards to enter four caves, without having to queue up for tickets.
With the facial recognition system, cameras will capture images of visitors鈥 faces and scan their ID cards to verify their identity to prevent ticket scalping that has been a problem during travel seasons.
Normally, visitors can buy tickets on the official website 30 days in advance and visit eight caves.
The Mogao Grottoes, a 1,600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, feature a huge collection of Buddhist art.
