To receive a baptism of revolutionary history and education, it's highly recommended to take your children to see this place during the summer vacation! In fact, every Party member should understand and conduct on-site investigations of this history to truly appreciate the difficulty and arduous journey by which the Communist Party achieved its victory through armed struggle…

1. After exiting the South Gate of Hongjing, walk along the Hongjing Pedestrian Street for about 10 minutes to the site of the Second Soviet Congress.
2. The Second Soviet Congress is the Second National Soviet Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic. The venue has restored the furnishings and layout of the meeting that year. The second floor is a graphic explanation room.
3. There is an air-raid shelter outside the venue, which was built to ensure the safety of the leaders attending the meeting. I went in and took a look around. After I came out, the last bus of Line 3 was over, and I missed the bus for two consecutive days.

The Ruijin Central Revolutionary Base History Museum is free to enter. It looks artistic from a distance, dignified, tall and majestic. The sculpture group in front of the museum is very spectacular. You can get a ticket with your ID card and pass the security check to enter the museum. The museum mainly introduces events of the Communist Party of China in various periods, and the exhibits are basically replicas and photos.

Who in the family knows! The hot springs we took this time were simply amazing! Stepping into the hot spring area, the environment is quiet and elegant, surrounded by green plants, and it makes people relax instantly. There are many types of hot spring pools, milk pools for skin rejuvenation, and Chinese medicine pools for health preservation. I have experienced them one by one. Each water temperature is just right. After soaking, I feel comfortable and tired. The service is also very considerate. The staff will hand over water and provide bath towels at any time. The supporting facilities are also complete, and there are fruits and drinks in the rest area. The price is also very affordable, and the cost performance is super high. I will definitely choose this place for hot springs in the future. I must strongly recommend it!
