Yan'an, a northern frontier city, is a land of fervor and mystery. Yan'an is a magnificent historical scroll, a classic that illuminates the sun and moon and inspires future generations. For the thirteen years from 1935 to 1948, the earth-shaking revolutionary wave swept across the nation from here. Yan'an is therefore known as the sacred land of revolution. Here, the footprints of the revolution are vividly visible. Wangjiaping, Yangjialing, Zaoyuan, and Nanniwan—each mountain, each ridge, each cave, and each building bears the marks of history. The bugle calls from the towering Pagoda, the surging ambition of the Yellow River's Hukou, the smiling faces blooming on Mount Wanhua, and the love and reverence for the leader sung in "Ode to the East"—all are the fiery love of the children of the Yellow River expressed in "Xiantianyou." Yan'an will always be a destination for travelers. Every inch of land in Yan'an has an extraordinary story; every site has a moving tale.
Yan'an is also a national historical and cultural city.
