    This is a reasonable celebration of communist history. It is probably the reason you are in town. 1 hour is enough. It will be better if you have prior knowledge of the history.

    saw how the Maoist leaders lived. Amazing. So committed. . The rooms were spartan with minimun furniture. Mao had his own wooden bathtub.

    This place is really indispensable if you are a fan of Red history. If you've come to Yan'an that's probably what you are so don't miss this.

    This pagoda is situated on the top of a very small hill, but worth a visit nevertheless, as the surrounding countryside is quite pretty when we visited in feb 2014.

    Expect to spend about half a hour here.

    Visiting in the middle of winter, we found the way up extremely long and difficult. Add in the steep sections and slippery steps iced over in places, making theis site unsuitable for anyot who isn't reasonably fit. Grippy shoes are a must !!

    The views from the top were great though, and made it all worthwhile.

    The descent was even harder than the wsy up, as we kept worrying about slipping on an icy patch on the steep steps.

    Highly recommended to visit, but arrive prepared.

    I visited this place as part of 2D1N Yanan/Hukou tour from Xian. Those who are keen in Chinese political history will probably enjoy this place more than the casual tourists. This site was generally well maintained and preserved, such as the auditorium & the residences of Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou Enlai and other Chinese Communist Party's early leaders. Worthwhile to visit if you are in Yanan region.
