Former Site of the Red Twenty-Eighth Army's Military and Political Headquarters

　　A national AAA-level tourist attraction and one of China’s 100 classic red tourism sites — the Former Site of the Red Twenty-Eighth Army's Military and Political Headquarters is situated within the Yaoluoping National Nature Reserve in Baojia Township, Yuexi County. It is 55 kilometers from the county seat, and can be easily accessed via National Highways 318 and 105 as well as Provincial Highway 209, offering convenient transportation.

　　　　The area features dense forests, lush bamboo, winding valleys, streams, waterfalls, and is one of the regions in the Dabie Mountains with relatively concentrated natural landscape resources. Yaoluoping was also a renowned revolutionary base area, once the site of the Red Twenty-Fifth Army and the Red Twenty-Eighth Army. In the summer of 1935, Gao Jingting led the Red Twenty-Eighth Army to this location. Seeing the advantageous terrain and strong local support, he decided to establish a base here. The army’s general headquarters was set up at this very site. Soon after, with the cooperation of the local party organization, a Red Army guerrilla unit was formed, along with a mountain hospital, a Red Army uniform factory, a small arms repair workshop, and a Red Army supply store. Gradually, this place became the headquarters and central guerrilla base of the Red Twenty-Eighth Army.

　　　　This former site stands as important physical evidence of the Red Twenty-Eighth Army’s three-year arduous guerrilla warfare, and also as a testament to the deep bond between the Red Twenty-Eighth Army and the people of Yuexi. Therefore, preserving this site means preserving this red memory — a matter of great significance.
