Aerial photo taken on June 30, 2019 shows tourists taking a tour on the Laoshanjie Mountain in Xing'an County of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Memorial halls and martyrs' cemeteries are springing up in many revolutionary places over the past few years, especially those along the Long March route. Visitors from all over China come to these memorials, reconnecting with history, reclaiming the Long March spirit and adding more momentum to the red tourism boom. In mid-October 1934, the Red Army soldiers launched the most epic military maneuver in China's modern history -- the Long March. The Red Army marched through raging rivers, snowy mountains and arid grasslands to break the Kuomintang regime's grip on the country and to continue their fight against Japanese invaders. Some of them marched as far as 12,500 kilometers, enduring hunger, thirst and cold. (Xinhua/Zhou Hua)
