"RED TOURISM"

Actors dressed as Maoist revolutionaries take part in a battle re-enactment called the Defence of Yan'an on 8 November 2009 in Yan'an, China . The battle is staged daily for tourists who can pay extra to dress up and take part in the mock fighting between the communist People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) Army. Yan'an is promoted as the "Revolutionary Holy Land" and offers a number of museums, monuments and other "Red Tourism" sites supported by the Chinese government.
