Xue Ling, director of China National Tourist Office London, said the release of the QR code serves as the finale of the two-months long "China Weeks: when culture and tourism blend", and a new beginning of a partnership to enable Chinese visitors to the Marx's tomb an enhanced experience of cultural and historical touches.
