The historical landmarks in Hechi Town have distinct connections to the past: the “红军标语楼” building preserves 55 propaganda slogans and six propaganda drawings; the parade ground is associated with a specific episode in the history of the Red Army. There are also historical cultural attractions connected to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, as well as several ecotourism destinations. This gives you a clear choice when planning your trip: preserved materials, military history, dynastic landmarks, or ecotourism attractions.

Cultural history with different points of reference

The “红军标语楼” building stands in the center of Hechi Town. It preserves 55 propaganda slogans and six propaganda drawings and has been designated a national-level key cultural relic protection site since 2006. The numbers make its contents clear: both written slogans and visual records are represented, with slogans outnumbering the drawings. The building can therefore be understood as a place with a clearly defined collection of propaganda materials.

The parade ground in Hechi Town is an educational site focused on the history of the Red Army. The Red Seventh and Red Eighth Armies were reorganized there and held a parade. Unlike the building, with its collection of slogans and drawings, the focus here is on a historical event. This contrast helps you choose the historical perspective that interests you: preserved materials on the one hand, and the reorganization and parade of the armies on the other.

Other historical cultural attractions include Luohan Cave, which dates to the Yuan dynasty, the city wall from the Ming dynasty, and the Hechi Confucius Temple. The cave and the wall are associated with two different eras. This makes it possible to compare their Yuan- and Ming-dynasty connections. The Confucius Temple adds another named historical cultural site to the selection. If you choose cultural sites by their historical connections, the Yuan and Ming dynasties offer a clear point of reference; the temple provides an additional one.

Ecotourism attractions

Ecotourism attractions in Hechi Town include Yingdong Tourism Resort and the Hongshawan Ecological Tourism Area. The Hechi Airport Scenic Area, Zhuangwang Lake, Liushuiyan, and Liyulong Pass are also part of this group.

The names reflect the variety of this group: alongside a tourism resort and an ecological tourism area are a scenic area, a lake, Liushuiyan, and a pass. Together, the names encompass different types of destinations that are all classified as ecotourism attractions. For planning purposes, this group offers a different focus from the historical cultural sites and provides a clearly distinct direction for your stay.

A helpful first decision for your trip to Hechi is whether you want to focus on historical cultural sites or ecotourism destinations. Within the historical theme, you can also choose between preserved materials, the event at the parade ground, and the different dynastic connections. If you plan to visit specific sites, check access before your visit.
