When I came to Guang'an, I must go to the hometown of Deng Xiaoping. This former hometown of great men can visit the traces of Deng Xiaoping's youth. In 1951, after Deng Xiaopings family left Guangan to move to Chongqing, Deng Xiaopings former residence has served as a public canteen, cultural station, kindergarten, storage room, etc. Now, it is not only a free 5A scenic spot, but also a nearby resident leisure. A good place to go for a walk. I wanted to take a picture of the former residence, but there were too many people in the former residence. I flew here at the silkworm house, and I feel that the aerial photography is still very good.
