It was the end of the Long March, and it was to Yanan that Mao had led those few of his men who survived with him and tramped and fought their way across China. If Xian and other ancient capitals along the Huanghe and its tributaries are places of pilgrimage for those curious about the imperial past, then Yanan is likewise a magnet for those wishing to visit the cradle of the New China.

It was the end of the Long March, and it was to Yanan that Mao had led those few of his men who survived with him and tramped and fought their way across China. If Xian and other ancient capitals along the Huanghe and its tributaries are places of pilgrimage for those curious about the imperial past, then Yanan is likewise a magnet for those wishing to visit the cradle of the New China.
