The “Red Ribbon” museum in Guiyang offers visitors a contemporary interpretation of the epic 12,500-kilometer expedition undertaken by the Red Army between 1934 and 1936.
Inspired by the idea of “a red ribbon on the earth,” the museum uses immersive performances and state-of-the-art digital art to provide an emotionally powerful journey into one of modern China’s most iconic chapters. As the first of its kind in the country, the Long March-themed museum aims to educate and inspire younger generations about this unparalleled milestone in Chinese history.
