Jinggangshan Leader Peak

Jinggangshan Leader Peak

The Leader Peak Scenic Area is located in Jinggangshan, the cradle of the revolution and a renowned tourist destination, covering nearly 10,000 acres. It is a large-scale tourist attraction that integrates red culture, natural beauty, and ethnic charm. The area was grandly opened to both domestic and international tourists on April 28, 2005. The Leader Peak Scenic Area is situated in Dajing, Jinggangshan, seven kilometers from Ciping and just a 10-minute drive away. It is close to famous scenic spots such as Huangyangjie, Longtan, Shuikou, and the former residence of Mao Zedong in Dajing, offering very convenient transportation and obvious advantages in tourism location. It is an ideal destination for travel and leisure. The scenic area boasts extremely rich resources, which can be roughly divided into five categories: red culture, natural scenery, ethnic culture, accommodation, and dining.

Leader Peak features the largest portraits of leaders (Zhu De and Mao Zedong) in China. Set against the backdrop of the Jinggangshan Meeting, it has become a symbol of Jinggangshan. The four sets of sculptures in the square provide a detailed explanation of why Jinggangshan is called the “Number One Mountain Under Heaven.” From the Leader Peak Square, you can overlook Jinggangshan’s main peak—Wuzhi Peak—the very mountain depicted on the fourth series of the 100-yuan Chinese banknote.
