📅 Two-day itinerary|A gentle blend of culture and nature
Day 1 Xunwu · Trace the Red Footprints, Touch the Century-old Cultural Heritage
🔴 Mao Zedong Xunwu Investigation Memorial Hall
When you come to Xunwu, be sure to visit here for a peaceful walk.
In the spring of 1930, the great leader conducted in-depth research here and wrote "Xunwu Investigation" and "Oppose Book Worship." The phrase "No investigation, no right to speak" spread nationwide from here.
Entering the memorial hall, old items, manuscripts, and vintage photos are quietly displayed, as if returning to those glorious years.
It’s not just a check-in spot but a moment of quiet reflection.
Understand the principle of seeking truth from facts, understand the origin of the original intention❤️
Afterward, stroll through the red-themed street area with blue bricks and black tiles, quaint alleys full of atmosphere, perfect for photos.
In the afternoon, visit the Matih River Ecological Riverside Park in Xunwu, Jiangxi🌿
In the afternoon mist and rain, the lotus pond is shallow, greenery covers the slopes, and the walkway winds between water reflections and trees, truly blending the "special zone romance" into the gentle old revolutionary area’s landscape.
As an ecological symbol of Shenzhen-Xunwu cooperation, this river’s old channel has now become a waterside paradise where Xunwu residents see greenery from their windows and step into a painting when they go out. Watching you walk along the path with an umbrella, every step is a mutual journey across mountains and seas—Shenzhen protects the Dongjiang source’s ecology, making the old revolutionary area’s water clearer and scenery more beautiful.
Walking here, feeling the moist breeze, even your breath carries the fresh scent of plants, truly healing.
