At the former residence, visitors can see a large number of photographs, documents and objects showcasing Soong's life, especially her participation in political activities.
The Langyashan scenic spot is also a household name as it was the spot where five martyrs fought to their deaths more than 70 years ago.
The scenic spot in Yixian county, Hebei province, is popular with visitors because in addition to commemorating the martyrs, visitors can also enjoy the mountains, karst caves and forests in the area.
Yu Ganqian, the deputy director of the Beijing Commission of Tourism Development, says: "Red tourism is a major highlight in Beijing", and the capital now has 100 government-accredited scenic spots for this tourism.
Beijing authorities will also arrange for retired PLA soldiers to interact with college students in September as the idea is to teach them about history, says Yu.
Last year, Beijing spent 57.10 million yuan on red tourism development, and parking lots, pedestrian lanes, seating, signboards and eco-toilets were provided at various historical sites.
