This aerial photo taken on June 13, 2023 shows a view of the Red Army's Long March memorial hall in Shigu Town of Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Shigu Town of Lijiang City is located by a huge bend of the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze River in southwest China. The footprints of the Red Army are forever engraved in the town's culture and spirits. The Central Yunnan Water Diversion Project, a national key project for water conservancy, is under construction and is expected to benefit more people after completion. Generations of locals have worked hard to plant willows along the river to protect water, soil and the ecological environment. By the river thrives a new Shigu Town. (Xinhua/Chen Xinbo)
