Being overweight gets you free entry? China theme park offers women free entry under unusual rule

Tang Paradise in Xian offered free admission to female visitors weighing more than 61.8 kilograms during a five-day Dragon Boat Festival promotion. The initiative drew on Tang Dynasty beauty ideals, when a fuller figure was considered attractive. Visitors used a traditional-style Chinese beam balance to determine eligibility, while 618 free tickets were available each day.
