What people are saying
The core purpose of the exhibition is not only to revisit the fiery history of the Long March and commemorate its fallen heroes, but also to show the public the successive efforts over 90 years to protect revolutionary remains and pass on the spirit of the martyrs.
The exhibition’s international communication section is the first of its kind to be presented systematically in a similar exhibition.
The “Crossing the Luding Bridge by Seizing It” section builds a more than 10-metre-span iron-chain bridge scene, using tilted walls and suspended chains to recreate the perilous canyon.
