Collaboration of the Week
Jinggangshan Mountain is located in the southwest of Jiangxi Province, near the border with Hunan. This remote region is known as "the cradle of China's revolution" in the first half of last century. In August 1927, late Chinese leader, Mao Zedong, along with other communist leaders, proposed that the poor peasants fill the role of revolutionary vanguard. He established the first rural revolutionary base here, and started a new chapter in Chinese history.
In 1934, the People's Liberation Army troops fled here from Nanchang and started the epic Long March (1934-1936). Mao Zedong's group advanced on a circuitous route through some of China's harshest regions, finally arriving in the little town of Yan'an, northern Shaanxi.
As a top tourist attraction, Jinggangshan offers stunning scenery and quaint villages. Wuzhi (Five Fingers) Peak is home to many animals and plants. There are five waterfalls falling into five pools within one and half miles' of the Wushen River.
Late spring to early fall (especially April and May) are the best time to visit Jinggangshan and Ji'an area. The hillsides in Jinggangshan City are fully covered with vibrant and colorful azaleas at that time.
Jinggangshan has a subtropical humid monsoon climate. The annual average temperature ranges between 62.8-65.5 °F (or 17.1-18.6 °C). The weather is cold in winter and spring, hot in summer and dry in autumn with most rains in early summer.
