Central China's Jiangxi saw a huge increase in tourists during the weeklong Spring Festival,as more people are interested in the province's historical sites of China's Communist revolution.
There were 1.6 million tourists from home and abroad visiting Jiangxi this year,40 percent above the same period last year.Tourism revenues jumped 31 percent to 510 million yuan (US$ 62million),Jiangxi's Tourism Bureau said.
It is the province's picturesque natural scenes and historical sites in China's revolution history that have attracted so many visitors,bureau officials said.
Taking Ruijin,a renowned revolutionary base of China Communist Party (CCP)in southern Jiangxi,for example,they said more than 40,000 people visited the city in the seven-day holiday.This was one-fifth of all tourists going to Jiangxi during the week.
Of the 180-plus revolutionary sites around Ruijin,Shazhouba and Yeping are the two most popular,tourism officials said.
Chinese people call such trips as "Red Tours."They describe Ruijin as the "red capital"in China,as it's here the CCP government was born and developed.
In 1931 the Party founded a temporary central government in the city and led a nation-wide fight to establish the new republic.Nine of the 10 chief generals that directed China's Communist revolutionary battles lived and worked here.
