Jinggangshan

Jinggangshan is located in the center of the Luoxiao Mountains in Jiangxi province, on the border with Hunan province. The area is surrounded by steep forested mountains that rise to well over 1000 meters above sea level. The landscape is dotted with unusual rock formations, ancient trees, waterfalls and caves. The Jinggang Mountains are an excellent place to appreciate the natural scenery and learn about the area's history – the mountains are known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army and were an important base for Communist forces during the war against the Nationalists.
