井冈山革命遗址, National historical and cultural heritage site in Suichuan County, Jiangxi, China
The Jinggangshan revolutionary sites are a group of buildings and structures around Mount Jinggang, in the Luoxiao range on the Jiangxi–Hunan border, mostly in Jinggangshan city (formerly Ninggang County), with parts in Yongxin and Suichuan counties. The buildings were burned in January 1929 when the Red Army moved on and were rebuilt in their original form after 1949.
The mountain became a stronghold in the late 1920s when political leaders sought refuge there and developed new strategies for their movement. It remained an active center for several years before the focus shifted to other regions.
The site takes its name from Mount Jinggang, where the base area was founded in October 1927 after Mao Zedong led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops into the mountains. Its buildings were burned when the Red Army moved out in January 1929 and rebuilt in their original form after 1949. Visitors today walk among the restored halls and former living quarters at the Jiangxi-Hunan border.
The site sits on a mountain with uneven terrain and steps, so sturdy footwear is a good idea for walking around. Guided tours on-site help explain the different buildings and their background, making it easier to understand what you are seeing.
Some of the living quarters display how basic conditions were, with minimal furniture and simple furnishings. These details give a direct sense of the modest circumstances under which important decisions were made.
