Scope

GB/T 35560-2025 is the English-translated version of 老年旅游服务规范 景区.

GB/T 35560-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering what a scenic area has to do for visitors of sixty and over — the safety, priority and convenience it works from, the ramps and the anti-slip treatment on sharp bends and steep slopes, the rest and sanitary facilities, the booking still possible by the old method or on someone else's behalf, the ticket window that still takes cash, and the access gate an older visitor can work unaided. The 2025 edition is largely about not stranding a visitor who does not use a smartphone. Issued on 28 February 2025, it has been in force since 28 February 2025, replacing GB/T 35560-2017.
