During the National Day holiday, the tourist attractions in Rucheng County were crowded with people, and colorful cultural tourism activities were held such as listening to Red stories in the special exhibition hall of “Warmth of Half a Quilt”, experiencing farming in the folk square and enjoying bathing in Fuquan Art Springs, which attracted a large number of citizens and tourists. Shazhou Village in Rucheng County once again ushered in the peak of tourism during the National Day holiday.
In the theme exhibition hall, the docents told Red stories such as “Half a Quilt” and “An IOU” to tourists from all over the country.
“These Red stories moved me, and all these pictures and objects are vivid witnesses of the deep relationship between the army and the people. It is worthwhile to bring children here for a visit during the holiday,” said a tourist from Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.
“In order to attract tourists, together with the newly opened Wenshi Yao Township, we held special activities such as autumn garden parties, handmade tie-dyeing and theatrical performances to enrich the visitors’ experience during this long National Day holiday,” said the head of the Shazhou Red Tourism Scenic Area.
Relying on the former site where the story of “Half a Quilt” took place, the scenic spot invited tourism bloggers to release tourism guides through online platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Hence, citizens and tourists have come here to reminisce about the historical years and feel the Red culture, resulting in a doubling of the number of tourists.
