Shanghai will launch a number of red tourist routes
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. As the birthplace of the Party, the place of original intention, and the birthplace of the great Party-building spirit, Shanghai is an important task for Shanghai Cultural Tourism this year to strengthen the red cultural background and carry forward the great Party-building spirit. On May 8, Jin Lei, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau, was a guest at the "2024 People's Livelihood Interview" and announced a series of red new venues, new routes, and new exhibitions in Shanghai.
Jin Lei said, “Red culture has always been the distinctive background of Shanghai culture. There are 612 red resources scattered throughout the city, including the familiar Memorial Hall of the First National Congress, the Second National Congress Site Memorial Hall, the Fourth Major Memorial Hall, and the former site of the editorial office of "New Youth" , there are also 250 immovable revolutionary cultural relics, Sun Yat-sen’s former residence, Soong Ching Ling’s former residence, etc., which open a door and a window for us to understand Shanghai in the history of the party.”
In the first quarter of this year, the scenic spots of the First, Second and Fourth National Congress of the Communist Party of China received a total of 800,000 tourists. Especially during the Spring Festival, a total of 160,000 visitors were received, setting a record high. Jin Lei said: "More and more citizens, tourists, individuals and families pay homage to red venues on their own initiative. Everyone has high enthusiasm and demand for entering revolutionary venues, admiring red cultural relics, understanding the history of the party, and understanding red culture. "
Now, another red venue is open to the public. The Memorial Hall of the former site of the Central Special Branch Office, which was just opened on April 14 this year, is located at No. 4, Lane 930, Wuding Road, Jing'an District. It is a key project of Shanghai's "birthplace of the Party" red cultural inheritance and promotion project. The memorial hall has basic exhibitions and special exhibitions, and uses immersive multimedia technology to reproduce the legendary story of the hidden front along the Huangpu River.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Long March, the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Party, and the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China. Shanghai will launch a number of red tourist routes. Jin Lei introduced: "For example, we cooperated with important node cities of the Red Army's Long March such as Yudu in Jiangxi and Liupanshan in Ningxia to launch 10 high-quality red tourism routes 'starting from the original heart', and organized red tourism charter flights; before and after July 1st, we launched 'Nanhu 1921' red tourist train; focusing on showcasing the great achievements of socialist construction and reform and opening up, 20 red tourism integrated routes will be developed, and more 'red micro-travel', 'reading red buildings' and other citywalk and citybus routes will be launched to better Meet the needs of local citizens and tourists visiting Shanghai.”
During this year's "July 1" and "National Day" periods, revolutionary venues across the city will also carefully plan and launch a number of high-quality exhibitions in conjunction. Among them, Jin Lei specially recommended the exhibition "City of Glory—The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai". This exhibition to be held at the Shanghai Revolutionary History Museum will focus on the main theme of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai in the early days of the founding of the Party. It will select more than 100 exquisite revolutionary cultural relics from the city's collection and will show them through old sites, cultural relics and historical materials, party historical figures, and historical events. In a combined way, it tells the story of the outstanding struggles and arduous explorations of the Party Central Committee during its stay in Shanghai.
