This town in western Sichuan is doing everything it can to commemorate its revolutionary roots. Anshunchang, once a mining center, has gone all in on "red tourism." It sits on the banks of the Dadu River, site of one of the most iconic moments in the history of the Chinese Red Army's Long March. It was here that brave fighters crossed this legendary river while under enemy fire—an example of extreme bravery and sacrifice for the cause. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, why not visit this picturesque town, surrounded by breathtaking mountains, the mighty Dadu River, and, above all, live the history of this iconic moment in the struggle to build the New China.
