President Museveni on Thursday undertook a historic and revolutionary pilgrimage to the birthplace of China’s Founding Father, Chairman Mao Zedong, in Shaoshan Village of Hunan Province.
The pilgrimage began at his residence, the Rongyuan Hotel, which was Chairman Mao’s work station while he was in Changsha, Hunan.
In Shaoshan, he visited the Mao Zedong Statute Square, paying respects before taking a tour of the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall that showcases his life and times.
The head of state also toured the humble home in which Mao was raised and later the Orange Island where a large statute of Chairman Mao as a young man stands majestically in the sky.
