As China commemorates the 89th anniversary of the Red Army's Long March victory, a groundbreaking fusion of technology and heritage preservation takes center stage at the Long March National Cultural Park. Opened in 2017 following a government proposal, the park employs augmented reality exhibits and interactive installations to bring to life the 1934-1936 strategic campaign that shaped modern Chinese history.
Visitors can now walk through holographic recreations of pivotal battles or access archival materials through smartphone-enabled displays. "This isn't just about preserving artifacts – it's about making revolutionary history tangible for digital-native generations," explained a park representative during a recent media tour.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to protect cultural resources along the original Long March route spanning 11 provincial-level regions. Analysts note the project's potential to boost cultural tourism while serving educational purposes, particularly for younger audiences and overseas visitors seeking deeper understanding of China's revolutionary legacy.
As dusk falls each evening, a light projection show traces the Red Army's 9,600-kilometer journey across mountains and rivers – a symbolic bridge between historical remembrance and technological innovation.
