The Longmen Grottoes' "Internet Plus scenery spot" plan officially started on May 15, when Tencent's project team arrived at Longmen to discuss specific implementations.

The Longmen Grottoes management committee reached an agreement with Tencent on April 29 during the 2015 China Internet Plus Summit, becoming the Internet Plus service provider's first tourism client in China.

The two sides have agreed to push the project as quickly as possible, to build the Longmen scenic area a national model for smart tourism.

Tencent has established an elite team dedicated to the Longmen Grottoes project. During their Longmen trip, the team introduced the solution of e-tickets in smart tourism and discussed technological details with functional departments in the tourism area.

The two sides have scheduled another seminar about "smart tour guides" by the end of May. The e-ticket and self-check-in entrance will be launched before July.
