BEIJING -- Reporters from overseas media outlets on Thursday began a tour of China's old revolutionary base areas to learn more about the history of the Communist Party of China.
Organized by the State Council Information Office, 39 reporters from 25 overseas media outlets and reporters of Chinese news organizations started their journey in the city of Jinggangshan, known as the cradle of the Chinese revolution, in East China's Jiangxi province.
During the first leg of the tour, the reporters have chances to learn about local efforts in poverty alleviation, rural vitalization, accelerating high-quality development, and improving people's livelihood.
