FUTS management organization and Transportation Tax Program is the key to keep the successful works of FUTS. Status quo of China National Trails System(CNTS) is reviewed as: scenic areas have relatively sound trail systems, but there is no any standard system; green corridors within the urban and rural system become popular, but there is no connection system.
