Distribution of Postcards for Literary Trail in the Southern District Many modern and contemporary writers have written about the lives and scenery in the Southern District. To promote local tourism and people’s interest in literature, the Southern District Council has developed a Literary Trail in the Southern District, featuring five famous Chinese writers: Chang Eileen, Xiao Hong, Xu Dishan, Cai Yuanpei and Dai Wangshu etc. By tracing the footsteps of these celebrated authors and poets and rediscovering their stories, the Literary Trail in the Southern District takes visitors to the spots where they left their marks. Perhaps through this journey of discovery, visitors can have a new understanding of the mind and thought of these literary figures when reading their works.
