'Red history' helps guide the future

The story of the Long March and the Red Army are being showcased at a famous tourist site in Southwest China. Yang Jun reports from Zunyi, Guizhou, with Yang Wanli in Beijing.

Over the past year, the number of visitors to scenic spots has declined as a result of regulations designed to reduce the risk of transmission of the novel coronavirus.

The Zunyi Meeting Site in Southwest China's Guizhou province is no exception. Famous for its significance in the history of the Communist Party of China, the site saw 2.61 million visits last year－half the number in 2019.

Despite that, Wang Zhili, deputy curator of the site's museum, said last year was his "busiest ever".
