BEIJING – CPC historical heritage sites luring a growing number of young travelers

Red tourism, featuring tours of sites related to the nation’s revolutionary history, is now popular among Generation Z, those people born in the late 1990s or early in the 21st century.

The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial in Jiaxing, East China’s Zhejiang province, is a first-class museum, which manages the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

One of the memorial’s highlights popular with young people is the Red Boat team, which consists of many experienced docents, or guides who work at a museum.

Yuan Jing, a researcher at the memorial, said the Red Boat team was set up to approach younger people by recounting revolutionary stories in a way that they can easily understand.
