Baise banking on theme park to improve lives of rural people

NANNING: Baise, a city close to the Vietnam border in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, is building a theme park to mark the 80th anniversary of the Baise revolution, a top official said yesterday.

Speaking on the sidelines of the regional people's congress, which ended yesterday, Liu Zhengdong, Party secretary of Baise, said the project is a great opportunity to improve the lives of local rural people.

The theme park is being built around key sites linked to the 1929 Baise revolution, which was initiated by the late leader Deng Xiaoping.
