| Embark on a Red Holy Land Adventure at Feiman Hotel.
Hey guys, I just returned from my photography trip to Yan'an! This journey was incredibly rewarding, especially my stay at Feiman Hotel (Yan'an Baota Mountain Branch) and those awe-inspiring attractions. I must share all the highlights with you!
Discover Feiman Hotel: A Comfortable Stay Awaits
I chose Feiman Hotel (Yan'an Baota Mountain Branch) for this trip, and its location is fantastic—situated at Building 3, Yuhua Community, Changqing Road, Baota District, Yan'an. The moment I stepped in, I felt a warm and modern vibe. Newly opened in 2024, the hotel features a simple yet stylish decor, with no excessive ornamentation but refined details everywhere.
The hotel has 50 rooms, each like a cozy little hideaway. The Yangqi mattress in my room was so soft I never wanted to get up! The smart toilet added a touch of convenience and luxury. The room's intelligent control system let me adjust lighting and temperature with just a tap, creating the perfect ambiance. At night, I lounged on the bed and watched movies on the large LCD TV, melting away the day's fatigue. The toiletries even had a subtle fragrance—after a shower, I felt like I could be a perfume model!
The hotel also has a book lounge and a relaxation bar. After a long day of photography, I'd curl up in a corner of the book lounge with a book and coffee, enjoying the tranquility. If you're with friends, the relaxation bar is perfect for chatting and sharing travel stories.

Baota Mountain
Located in downtown Yan'an, Baota Mountain is the city's iconic landmark! The pagoda dates back to the Tang Dynasty, steeped in history. Climbing up, I was treated to a panoramic view of Yan'an—the Yan River winding like a silver ribbon through the city, with the lush Fenghuang Mountain in the distance. As a symbol of revolutionary spirit, Baota Mountain bears the footprints of many revolutionary pioneers. Photos here, with the pagoda and cityscape as backdrops, are effortlessly striking, brimming with historical charm.

The Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall is a must-visit! It houses countless precious revolutionary artifacts, historical photos, and documents. Walking through, I felt transported back to those tumultuous revolutionary years. The exhibits vividly depict the hardships endured by our forebears for their ideals. The hall is also photogenic—pose against the recreated historical scenes, and every shot tells a story. Plus, you’ll learn so much history—it’s deeply meaningful.

Yangjialing is the former site of the CPC Central Committee, where Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and other revolutionary leaders once lived and worked. The cave dwellings may seem simple, but knowing they were the backdrop to such pivotal moments is awe-inspiring. The Central Auditorium here hosted many crucial meetings. Photographing Yangjialing feels like conversing with history—each image seems to narrate a story, making it perfect for travel photography and preserving rich red memories.
