Red tourism sparkling in Guangdong

Zhongshan, a city in Guangdong province that is rich in Communist Party of China heritage, is promoting Red tourism to coincide with this year's Party centenary.

Towns and villages in the Pearl River Delta city, the hometown of late republican leader Sun Yat-sen, have been urged to renovate, rebuild and protect their valuable Red history and cultural sites and improve the environment to boost the Red tourism industry, its publicity authorities said.

Zhang Daoyou, a staff member at the Former Residence of Yang Yin, who was among the early leaders of the CPC, said the Nanlang town government had rebuilt and renovated it and is now working on the former residences of other revolutionary martyrs in Cuiheng village.
