Discover Hechi: History and Ecotourism Destinations

Hechi combines tangible evidence of history with a selection of destinations described as ecotourism attractions. A special highlight for culture enthusiasts is the building “红军标语楼” in the center of Hechi Town. It preserves 55 propaganda slogans and 6 propaganda drawings and is designated as a nationally significant protected cultural heritage site. The preserved content gives this place a clearly defined historical profile.

Discover history in specific places

The parade ground also tells the story of the Red Army: the Seventh and Eighth Red Armies were reorganized there and held a parade. Today, the square in Hechi Town is an educational site dedicated to the history of the Red Army. This presents two distinct ways to explore local history: the building preserves slogans and drawings, while the parade ground is linked to a specific historical event and its present-day educational role. If you are interested in this part of local history, you can consider both names when choosing your destinations.

Other historical cultural attractions named in Hechi Town include Luohan Cave, which dates to the Yuan dynasty, the city wall from the Ming dynasty, and the Hechi Confucian Temple. Their different historical associations can help you organize your choices according to your interests: the cave is associated with the Yuan dynasty, and the city wall with the Ming dynasty. The Confucian Temple adds another named historical cultural site to the selection. Alongside the building with its preserved slogans and drawings, these offer several more starting points for a culture-focused exploration.

Include ecotourism destinations

The places described as ecotourism attractions offer a different way to explore the area. These include Yingdong Tourism Resort, Hongshawan Ecological Tourism Area, and Hechi Airport Scenic Area. The selection also includes Zhuangwang Lake, Liushuiyan, and Liyulong Pass. These names broaden the range beyond the historical cultural sites. If you would rather plan your trip around ecotourism destinations, you can consider these places as a separate selection alongside the historical sites, rather than discovering Hechi solely through its historical attractions. For an initial overview, the names can be further distinguished: three explicitly refer to a resort, an ecological tourism area, or a scenic area; the remaining names refer to a lake, Liushuiyan, and a pass. This grouping helps organize the selection according to the types named, rather than treating all six destinations as similar places.

When looking for a vacation rental or holiday home in Hechi, the location of a destination that matters to you can be a starting point. The building “红军标语楼” is in the center of Hechi Town.
