Autumn Impressions of Yan'an, Shaanxi.

This trip to Yan'an, Shaanxi, has already been shared with friends about the Yan'an Revolution Museum and the Yangjialing Revolutionary Site. Due to time and weather constraints, I cannot share in detail what I have seen and heard in Yan'an. Today, I will share with friends my overall impression of Yan'an! First of all, Yan'an Station. The entire front of the station is decorated with a pattern of cave dwellings, and a five-pointed red star shines brightly, exuding a strong Shaanxi northern characteristic. From a bird's-eye view, the roof of the station without platform pillars resembles an eagle with its wings spread, soaring into the sky, symbolizing Yan'an's vigorous development and soaring flight in the new era. The platform roof adopts a cable-supported steel structure. The application of modern steel structure technology makes the completed platform roof light and transparent, with a beautiful structure and strong expressive tension, achieving a perfect combination of structural technology and architectural art. At the same time, Yan'an Station uses multiple techniques, starting from culture, visual effects and other aspects, focusing on highlighting regional cultural characteristics, rich architectural space and innovative structural design. It integrates multiple domestic advanced technologies, equipped with passenger guidance system, central air conditioning system and automatic fire sprinkler system. The roof is a large-span cable-suspended steel structure, becoming an iconic building in the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an. Next, I will share about Qingliangshan in Yan'an. Qingliangshan Wanshou Temple, a Song Dynasty cave temple, is one of the four major cave temples in Shaanxi. From January 1937 to March 27, 1947, the printing workshop of the Central Printing Factory was located on Qingliangshan. Known as the "News Mountain" of Red Yan'an, it has made indelible contributions to the Chinese revolution. On August 6, 1956, it was announced as the first batch of provincial key cultural relics protection units; on May 25, 2006, it was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit; in 2011, it was rated as a 3A-level tourist attraction and one of the three major national red education bases. On the east side of Qingliangshan are the Xinhua Broadcasting Station, Xinhua News Agency and Jiefang Daily of the Yan'an period. The Wanshou Cave Grottoes are the revolutionary relics of the Central Printing Factory, Paper Mill, Health Bureau and Xinhua Bookstore. Finally, there is Baota Mountain in Yan'an, located in Baota District, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. Built during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, it is part of the Yan'an Revolution Site and a landmark building in Yan'an City. Baota Mountain integrates historical relics and revolutionary sites, and combines human and natural landscapes. It covers an area of 360,000 square meters and has an altitude of 1135.5 meters, making it the highest peak among the surrounding mountains. Baota Mountain was approved by the State Council in 1961 as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units; in 2019, the Yan'an Revolution Memorial Site Scenic Area, where Baota Mountain is located, was rated as a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Baota Mountain has been successively rated as a national red tourism classic scenic area, provincial-level safe scenic area and provincial-level civilized scenic tourist area. Qingliangshan and Baota Mountain in Yan'an are very close to each other, and each scenic spot has a separate entrance fee. There are also joint tickets, which seem to be around ninety yuan, which is recommended!
