Special supplement: Shaoguan showcases historical heritage

All 15 cities that will host activities for the 2008 Guangdong International Tourism and Culture Festival are ready to welcome tourists from home and abroad, organizers said.

The Shaoguan part of the travel fete started in September and will last to the Spring Festival of 2009.

Of the 24 activities in Shaoguan - a city at the northernmost point of Guangdong - one of the most compelling is an inter-city tourism campaign jointly sponsored with Ganzhou and Chenzhou, cities in neighboring provinces of Jiangxi and Hunan.
