Wuxiang festival retraces heroic tales of resistance

As one of the key highlights of the festival, the immersive study tour retracing the heroic paths of the Taihang Mountains allowed visitors to walk over 5 kilometers from the Red Star Poplar Park in the county, passing through historical Red sites, including Wangjiayu, Shangbeizhang and Xiabeizhang. Along the route, actors portrayed soldiers, reenacting scenes such as the Battle of Guanjianao, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in the history of the resistance.

Bao Yuyang, a student from Taihang Elementary School, served as the flag bearer and said after visiting the former headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Wangjiayu: "Only by walking through the places where heroes fought can we truly appreciate the hardships endured by our ancestors. This immersive education is more effective than textbooks; I want to share these stories with more classmates."

Wu Fengbin, the chief planner of the study tour, said, "Wuxiang's rich red culture emphasizes that the development of Red tourism isn't just about superficial sightseeing for tourists but delving deep into the cultural essence, using compelling stories to evoke emotional resonance and to imbue people with the spirit of sacrifice, strengthening their ideals and beliefs."
