About USD 944,88 will be invested to turn the Malan Base in the restive Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region into a "red tourism" site, state-run Xinhua news agency today reported quoting a local official.
Labs and dormitories used by the nuclear scientists, as well as a 300-meter anti-air strike tunnel, will be preserved, said the official said.
China detonated its first atomic bomb in the desert near Malan on October 16, 1964.
