Military Museum holiday Long March exhibit crowds

Oct 1–7

CCTV says the Military Museum's Great Expedition exhibition commemorating the Long March victory's 90th anniversary received 210,000 visits over the seven-day National Day holiday. Visitor Pan Jian says he brought his child immediately after arriving by train and hopes the experience encourages study and service. The exhibition recreates 14 scenes, including the Xiangjiang battle, Zunyi Conference and Luding Bridge assault, using multimedia. It opened to the public on September 25, added English explanations for the first time and has received nearly 390,000 visits cumulatively; it will remain a permanent display. The holiday total and cumulative total measure different periods.

CCTV reports a surge at China's revolutionary heritage attractions during the opening of the 2026 National Day holiday. Named museums and memorials report increased or busy daily visits and offer digital displays and study activities; visitors discuss patriotic education. Yuhuatai's nearly 200,000 holiday visitors remain an expectation, distinct from observed daily counts elsewhere. CCTV's October 4 Long March anniversary heritage report continues that holiday visitor episode, including more than 100,000 daily visits at Zunyi and 226,000 cumulative visits to the Military Museum exhibition as of October 4. It adds conservation, interpretation and educational responses. Local daily, cumulative and expected counts remain distinct. CCTV's October 8 Military Museum follow-up reports 210,000 visits to the same Great Expedition anniversary exhibition over the seven-day holiday and nearly 390,000 cumulatively since its September 25 public opening. These remain separate from the earlier 226,000 cumulative figure as of October 4 and from other sites' daily counts and Yuhuatai's forecast. The full follow-up adds a parent's educational interpretation, multimedia scenes, English explanations and the exhibition's permanent-display status.
