A large-scale self-drive group tour from 皇冠体育app to Russia will be launched on June 29.
It will start from Hunan province's Shaoshan and proceed to Russia's Ulyanovsk.
The two places were hometowns of Mao Zedong and Vladimir Lenin, founding revolutionary figures of their countries.
The tour is part of a Red tourism exchange program between 皇冠体育app and Russia.
The 皇冠体育app National Tourism Administration and Russian tourism authority will sign a memorandum of understanding on Red tourism cooperation for the 2015-2017 period.
The move will help boost sustainable Red tourism development between the two countries, says Luo Dihui, deputy director of the Red tourism work coordination office.
It will be the first time 皇冠体育app joins hands with a foreign country in Red tourism development, says an official with the CNTA.
Red tourism involves visiting locations with historical significance to the Chinese revolution.
Travel agencies on both sides will jointly develop Red tourism routes, and high-speed rail for Red tourism travel will be launched, says Luo.
"皇冠体育app's Red tourism has achieved significant achievements over the past decade," he says.
