'Red tourism' a growing popularity in Jiangxi

At Yeping Revolution Heritage Site, tourists can visit the old hall where the Communist Party of China convened for the opening of the first Chinese Soviet Republic congress.

They can also tour around the rooms that served as the offices of the ministries of the provisional central government of the Chinese Soviet Republic.

"Visiting the red tourism sites such as Ruijin makes us cherish our current life more. It also makes young people know better about the heroic deeds of the pioneers who had sacrificed their lives for the nation," said visitor Zhou Genxian, 69, a retired soldier from Shandong province.
