Jinggang Mountain is the first base area of the Chinese revolution, attracting admirers from all over the country. As one of the five passageways to the outside world, Zhushachong is so steep and precipitous that as long as a soldier guards the pass, people are unable to get through. The general told young people the story of defeating enemies as well as Red Army’s trenches, bamboo nails, guns, and sentries on the mountain. Five Jing are five villages in Jinggang Mountain. Chairman Mao's former residence is located in Dajing featured with Gannan style. In Mao Ping, there is not only the octagonal house where Chairman Mao lived but also the Mao Ping Primary School, which is the site of the Gannan Special Committee. The first meeting of the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Party was held in the Xie family’s memorial hall. There is also the bridge where Zhu De and Mao Zedong joined forces in 1928. Now, people visit the revolutionary relics to mourn the martyrs.
