The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Taolinkou village of Qinhuangdao. Thirty-one passengers were onboard at the time of the accident.
The boat was an illegally modified tour boat, according to media reports. Most tourists were elderly tourists, and were not wearing life jackets.
A total of 31 fire trucks, 144 firefighters, four response boats, and 13 rubber boats were dispatched to the scene to lead rescue operations.
An accident investigation group was set up to investigate the cause and responsibility of the accident. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has initiated the relevant work of accountability.
A preliminary investigation revealed that on Saturday, 155 tourists departed Tangshan on three buses organized by a travel agency. They had lunch near Taolinkou village, and 31 of them visited Qinglong River, where they boarded the boat which capsized shortly after departure.
