Visit to historic site inspires 'Red Tourism' growth

Editor's Note: China has entered a new era after the 19th CPC National Congress. Starting today, China Daily will provide a series of reports on how the Party is putting the spirit of the congress into action at the grassroots level across the country.

The Communist Party of China's remarkable performance at home and abroad during the past five years, with Xi Jinping as the core of the Party's Central Committee, is bringing attention to its birthplace in Shanghai.

"The commonest question visitors raise is how the Party can develop from the initial 13 founders under very difficult conditions to nearly 90 million members," said Zhang Liming, curator of the Memorial Hall of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
