War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was an important event in the modern history of China, and Hongkong also played a significant role in it. The remembrance of the past is the teacher of the future Learning the history of the Anti-Japanese War is not only patriotism education but also strengthening students’ national identity and cultivating their excellent values. However, based on the abstraction of history, traditional educational methods may not be able to achieve efficient educational results. This paper will further verify the feasibility and significance of applying experiential learning to Hong Kong’s anti-Japanese war history research tourism education method through the concept and case analysis of “red research tourism”. In addition, this paper also discusses in detail the utilization and development of historical resources of the current Anti-Japanese War in Hong Kong. Based on this, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the route of setting up anti-Japanese history education and research tourism courses in Hong Kong, and cooperates with Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou) to jointly set up a research route running through the anti-Japanese war memorial halls in four places, so as to enhance students’ sense of national identity.
