'Battle for town' makes Yinan more popular

An immersive interactive project started at a tourism area in Yinan county in Linyi, Shandong province, during the National Day holiday continues to attract large crowds.

In the action-packed game, upon receiving a command from a "designated leader" to take control of an area, some visitors join actors dressed as soldiers, who enthusiastically emerge from hiding, dash toward their enemies and engage them in a mock battle. Other tourists trail them, running along and enjoying the show.

The game, named gen zhe tuan zhang da xian cheng, or "Follow the Leader to Conquer the Town", found popularity through posts online from tourists who participated.
