Tourists are flocking to the city to explore its revolutionary heritage, visiting landmarks and memorials that echo the fervor of historical events.
Since May, the Nanhu Scenic Area has seen a surge in visitors, with over 10,000 people visiting on June 29 alone. This trend is expected to continue through the summer, according to Zhuang Libing, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Nanhu Cultural Tourism Group.
Educational tours are particularly popular, with youth groups engaging in activities that highlight the revolutionary legacy. The Nanhu Scenic Area, a provincial educational base, offers enriching experiences for young visitors.
The Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall is a key attraction, featuring numerous restored scenes of historical events. This year, the hall has received 550,000 visitors, an 8.5-percent increase from last year.
