Yan'an, Historical city in northern Shaanxi, China
The city stretches across the Loess Plateau at an elevation of 975 meters, surrounded by deep gullies formed from windblown soil deposits.
During the period from 1935 to 1949, Yan'an functioned as the central command headquarters for the Chinese Communist Party following the Long March.
The Yan'an Revolution Memorial displays extensive collections documenting the Chinese Communist movement, featuring artifacts, photographs, and historical documents from that period.
Yan'an Nanniwan Airport connects the city with major destinations including Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an through regular domestic flights.
The district contains over 140 revolutionary sites, including the preserved cave dwellings where Communist Party leaders lived and worked during their resistance period.
