From May 3 to 5, 1935, the First Division of the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army entered Yuanmou during the Long March. In order to cover the main force of the Red Army crossing the river, a pontoon bridge was erected across Longjie across the Shihuatan, as a pretense. Crossing the river created a famous battle example of "skilfully crossing the Jinsha River" in military history. In 2005, Jinsha River Longjie Ferry was listed as one of the 100 red boutique tourism projects in the country; on April 23, 2006, the Red Army Festival in the first boundary of China's Yuanmou was held to further enhance the popularity of "Jinsha River Tourism". The Fourth Red Army Festival of China Yuanmou was held in May, which greatly promoted the development of tourism in our hometown. In the same year, the movie "My Long March" was filmed in Longjiedu on the river bank, which led to the rapid development of the red tourism industry on the river bank. In recent years, Jiangbian Township has closely followed the development ideas of the county committee and the government, relying on its three major resource advantages of "green, water, and red" to increase industrial structure adjustment and industrial upgrading, and strive to create a green riverside, tourist riverside, and safe By the river, we look forward to welcoming guests and friends from all over the world with a new attitude.
