CultureRetracing the Long March: Luding Bridge and the Red Army Trail
Walking the 120-kilometer Red Army Trail in Luding, Sichuan, recalls the Long March. Ninety-one years ago, more than 1,000 soldiers crossed heavy rain in straw shoes for 24 hours to reach Luding Bridge, an 18th-century Qing Dynasty suspension bridge over the Dadu River. Its 13 iron chains remain a powerful symbol of sacrifice and remembrance.
