The Jinggangshan Meeting Monument is a classic red tourism attraction.

The Jinggangshan Meeting Monument stands at the western end of Huijie Bridge in Longshi. On the front of the monument, Comrade Ye Jianying inscribed eight large characters: “Jinggangshan Meeting Monument.” The front of the base bears an inscription, while the back features Mao Zedong’s calligraphy reading “A single spark can start a prairie fire.” On both sides of the monument are two huge red marble military flags, representing the flags of the Autumn Harvest Uprising forces from the Hunan-Jiangxi border region and the Nanchang Uprising forces respectively. The front of the top of the monument is inlaid with a sickle and axe, symbolizing the victorious meeting of the two forces under the leadership of the Party.
