A QR code in Chinese language for Karl Marx's tomb at London's Highgate Cemetery¹ has been launched online by the China National Tourist Office in England.

 

中国驻英国国家旅游局将位于伦敦海格特公墓中卡尔·马克思的坟墓加上中文二维码。

 

The newly released non-commercial QR code is both practical and informative². It provides access to basic information and a map, visitor's codes and rules, and the history of Marx's tomb. It also has the Chinese translation of Engels's well known remarks made at Marx's funeral in 1883.

 

Dr. Ian Dungavell, the chief executive of Friends of the Highgate Cemetery Trust, said, "we are thrilled to be working with the China National Tourist Office to provide better information so that our Chinese visitors can enjoy and appreciate this exceptional place, and in particular to understand more about Karl Marx."

 

Xue Ling, director of China National Tourist Office London said the launch marks the final of the two-month long "China Weeks: When culture and tourism blend," and a new beginning of a partnership³ to enable Chinese visitors to Karl Marx's grave an enhanced experience of cultural and historical touches.
