A Chinese province has launched a tourism product that experiences the lives of prisoners in the past.

According to Chinese media such as Jimu News and Sohu Dotcom, Heilongjiang Province announced that it will start a so-called 'return experience' program in December at Jingpo Lake tourist attraction.

In the past, Zhujiang City, southeast of Heilongjiang Province, had an ancient military city and one of the most famous exile sites, 'Ninguta'.




According to historical records, more than 1.5 million prisoners were deported to Ningutta during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Many prisoners went through the long and arduous journey to Ningutta, many of whom lost their lives along the way, and those who survived were enslaved by local officials.

Recently, Ninguta became a hot topic because of the effect of the Chinese TV drama "The Last Palace Hwanjeon (The Lady of the Emperor of the Palace)".




The drama was set during the Qing Dynasty's Ongjeongje period, and the 16-year-old Han Chinese girl Gyeon-hwan entered the court as a courtier and defeated the empress to take the position of the empress, as well as the struggle between the concubines. In the drama, Emperor Ongjeong expelled the empress' family to Ningutta. This is fictional in terms of direction, but in actual history, many people have been framed and returned to the country.

'Experience of Deportation' Program users can walk the path of past exile, wearing pink or blue prison uniforms, wearing wooden necklaces and shackles, and experiencing prison life.

You can also experience 'Bungee Jump', which was created to describe the despair felt by the noble.




Although the cost and total length of the return route have not yet been disclosed, the admission fee for Jingpo Lake is 49 yuan (about 9,500 won) per person.

A tourism official said "Experience is scheduled to begin next month" and "Planning to add winter sports activities along the route of exile"

Netizens have reported that "creative programs promoting local history and culture that can appeal to young people"It may help relieve stress"In the past, many intellectuals and loyalists were forcibly expelled. These programs are an affront to painful history" give a back reaction.
