TV host Xie Na and pop singer Zhang Jie held their wedding ceremony on September 26 in Shangri-la county, Yunnan province. The couple, who had been dating for five years, were showered with good wishes from celebrities. But their wedding created some controversy (争议). People questioned whether the local government had donated (捐助) 30 million yuan for the wedding. The government first said this was not true, but then admitted that it had sponsored (赞助) the wedding banquets and hotel accommodation (住宿), hoping that the wedding would promote local tourism. However, some netizens pointed out that a local tourist industry comes from long-term reputation rather than a lot of media exposure over a short time.
