Wuxiang festival retraces heroic tales of resistance

Shanxi province was a major battlefield during the war, hosting several major revolutionary bases, and gaining fame through battles like the Battle of Pingxingguan (on Sept 25, 1937) and the Hundred Regiments Offensive (Aug 20-Dec 5, 1940). To promote the integrated development of Red tourism in old revolutionary areas, the province recently launched 10 high-quality, Red tourism-themed routes.

The Taihang Memorial Museum of the Eighth Route Army in Wuxiang stands as the nation's sole large-scale revolutionary memorial hall comprehensively reflecting the history of the Eighth Route Army's resistance.

It houses 6,554 war relics, including 134 national first-class cultural relics. Tian Yuehui, deputy curator of the museum, said, "The history of the Eighth Route Army's resistance is a crucial part of China's glorious revolutionary journey."
