The aim is to guide readers in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the history and revolutionary essence of these red tourism cities, as well as to provide them with scientific and meaningful visits. Yan'an, a northern frontier city, is a passionate and mysterious land of yellow soil. 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 country from here. Yan'an is therefore known as the sacred land of revolution. Here, the footsteps of the revolution are clearly 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 River," as well as the unending fiery love of the children of the yellow soil in the folk song "Xiantianyou"—all contribute to Yan'an being a city forever desired by 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.
