Jinggangshan is situated in the south of Jiangxi Province, on the border with Hunan.
In the 1920s this region, together with the Jinggangshan Mountains, was the scene of Mao's first revolutionary struggles, thereafter becoming the base of the Red Army, which Mao formed. It was from here that the
Communists began their famous Long March in 1934.
Today the region is a popular place to visit on account of its interesting architectural monuments and its many picturesque villages.
