BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2019 (Xinhua) -- A total of 47 journalists from home and abroad on Wednesday visited a training site of the military parade for the upcoming National Day celebrations.

The military parade for the upcoming National Day celebrations, which will take place in Beijing on Oct. 1, will involve around 15,000 military personnel, according to a group interview held by the office of the leading group for the military parade in Beijing Tuesday.

The parade will consist of two parts. First, the troops will be reviewed along Chang'an Avenue; then, airborne flag-guarding echelons, foot formations, armament formations and air echelons will pass through or fly across Tian'anmen Square.

The scale of the parade will be the largest in recent years, said Cai Zhijun, deputy head of the office, during the group interview.
