Long March Route Tourist Line

　　The four counties of Ruijin, Yudu, Ningdu, and Xingguo form the tourist line of the Long March. Red Capital Ruijin was the site of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic. In November 1931, the First National Congress of the Chinese Soviet was held here. Ruijin's Shazhouba features the site of the Second National Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers, as well as the Red Well. Ruijin's Yunshishan Mountain is considered the starting point of the Long March for some Red Army troops, earning it the title "First Mountain of the Long March." Yudu has the site of the Red Army’s Long March crossing, where Comrade Mao Zedong began his journey on the Long March, hence known as "the First Crossing of the Long March." Ningdu is home to the former headquarters of the 26th Route Army uprising. On December 14, 1931, the 26th Route Army announced its uprising here and was incorporated into the 5th Corps of the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, strengthening the armed forces of the Central Red Army. The site is a two-story Western-style brick-and-wood building, now serving as the Ningdu Uprising Memorial Hall. Xingguo County was a major part of the Central Soviet Area during the Second Revolutionary Civil War. At that time, the Xingguo Soviet Area had a population of only 230,000, of whom over 80,000 joined the battle, with more than 23,000 sacrificing their lives. After liberation, statistics showed that Xingguo produced 54 generals, making it a renowned General County of the Republic.
