Episode Details

The Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai received around 100,000 foreign visitors last year, a record high that reflects the growth in international interest in the CPC's history and China's development journey.

中共一大纪念馆（上海）去年接待外籍访客约10万人次，创下历史新高，这一数据折射出国际社会对中国共产党历史以及中国发展历程的关注度持续攀升。

Officials at the memorial hall said in an interview on Monday that foreign visitors come to find out "why China can".

该纪念馆相关负责人在周一接受采访时表示，外籍访客前来参观，核心是想要探寻“中国为什么能”的答案。

"These overseas visitors included delegations from international organizations and an increasing number of independent travelers, thanks to China's relaxed visa policies in recent years," said Yang Yu, director of the memorial hall's publicity and education department.

纪念馆宣传教育部主任杨宇表示，得益于我国近年放宽签证政策，来访外籍人群涵盖各类国际组织代表团，自助游客数量也持续增长。

"They are not merely coming for photo opportunities," she said. "Many are drawn to the birthplace of the CPC, seeking to understand why the Party has endured for over a century and continues to thrive. They are interested in discovering the secrets behind its success."

她表示，这些外籍访客并非只为打卡拍照。许多人慕名来到中国共产党的诞生地，希望了解中国共产党百年赓续、蓬勃发展的原因，探寻其成功的密码。

Yang also noted the growing diversity in visitors' nationalities, with many foreign tourists listing the site as a key stop in Shanghai — a city aiming to become China's top destination for inbound tourism.

杨宇介绍，访客的国籍构成也愈发多元。上海正全力打造中国入境旅游首选目的地，中共一大会址已成为众多外籍游客到访上海的必游地标。

Since the memorial hall launched its exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the CPC's founding in June 2021, it has welcomed more than 12 million visitors in total, with the annual number rising steadily to reach 3.23 million last year.

自2021年6月中共一大会址推出建党百年主题展览以来，纪念馆累计接待游客超1200万人次，年接待量稳步攀升，去年全年接待量达323万人次。
