Hidden gems in Shan'xi （Yan'an）

#chinaattractions Yan’an, nestled in the loess hills of northern Shaanxi, carries a deep historical and revolutionary significance. As I arrived, the Yan’an Pagoda stood tall on Baota Hill, a silent witness to China’s past. Climbing to the top, I looked out over the vast landscape, imagining the scenes of history that once unfolded here. Walking through Zaoyuan and Yangjialing, the former revolutionary sites, I saw simple cave dwellings where leaders once lived and worked. The atmosphere was solemn yet inspiring, a reminder of perseverance and determination. As the sun set, the golden light cast long shadows over the loess hills, adding to the quiet beauty of Yan’an. More than just a place, it felt like a journey into the soul of China’s history.
