The Weixian Concentration Camp Museum in Weifang, Shandong, was rated as a AAA tourist attraction by the Quality Rating Committee of Weifang Tourist Attractions last Tuesday.
The buildings of Le Dao Yuan or Courtyard of the Happy Way (also known as the Western Migrants Concentration Camp) in Weihsien, were built in 1882 and rebuilt in 1902, covering an area of more than 32.1 acres (130,000 square meters). With a history of nearly 140 years, it was an important witness to the social changes of Weifang City in modern times.
According to the records of Weifang City, Rev. Robert M. Mateer, M.D. of the Presbyterian Church in the USA, came to Wei County to preach in 1882 with his wife Asherah (once called Di Zhenzhu). With the assistance of local church members, he bought land at the East Gate of the old Wei County (formerly known as Weihsien) to build the Courtyard, which contained churches, schools, and hospital clinics, to be used for preaching, education, and medical treatment.
In recent years, the museum carried out the construction of a national AAA-rated tourist attraction. In addition to launching a series of training activities to improve the quality of service, it set up a mother-and-child room, a Lei Feng Service Site (Lei was a selfless soldier glorified by Chairman Mao Zedong), a cultural and creative store, and a medical clinic, as well as a ticket window and a visitor lounge area.
In terms of cultural construction, with the theme of "Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind", the museum explores the cultural power in the history of the Courtyard, promoting the concept of peaceful development in the whole society. It will "strengthen the management of a scenic landscape quality, scenic facilities, scenic environment, and service quality".

10月26日，经潍坊市旅游景区质量等级评定委员会组织评定，乐道院潍县集中营博物馆确定为国家级AAA级旅游景区。
乐道院建筑群始建于1882年，重建于1902年，占地13万余平方米，迄今已经有着近140年的历史，是潍坊近代社会变迁的重要见证者。据《潍坊市志》记载，1882年(清光绪八年)美国基督教长老会派牧师狄乐播携阿撒拉氏（一说狄珍珠）来潍县传教，并在当地教友的协助下，在老潍县东关处买地建立乐道院，乐道院由教堂、学堂、诊所三部分组成，用以传教、办学和开办诊所
近年来，乐道院潍县集中营博物馆积极开展国家AAA级旅游景区创建活动。为提高服务质量，乐道院潍县集中营博物馆开展了“微笑服务，情满潍坊”系列培训活动，同时除设置基本的领票窗口和游客休息区外，还设立母婴室，学雷锋服务站点，文创商品店，医务室等。
在文化建设方面，乐道院潍县集中营博物馆以“人类命运共同体”为主题，深入挖掘乐道院历史底蕴中的文化力量，在全社会推广和平发展理念。乐道院潍县集中营博物馆将在景区景观质量与完善景区服务设施、景区环境和服务质量的管理等方面为广大人民群众提供服务。https://www.christiantimes.cn/news/35822/%E4%B9%90%E9%81%93%E9%99%A2%E6%BD%8D%E5%8E%BF%E9%9B%86%E4%B8%AD%E8%90%A5%E5%8D%9A%E7%89%A9%E9%A6%86%E6%88%90%E5%8A%9F%E5%88%9B%E5%BB%BAAAA%E7%BA%A7%E6%97%85%E6%B8%B8%E6%99%AF%E5%8C%BA
