Ji'an City
Homeland of Luling culture and the cradle of revolution at Jinggangshan, balancing red tourism with ancient villages.
Ji'an lies in west-central Jiangxi, with the Gan River running through the whole prefecture. Known anciently as Luling, it has a flourishing literary tradition and was the home of Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang and Yang Wanli. Jinggangshan is a famous revolutionary site and a national scenic area, with attractions such as Ciping and Huangyangjie in the mountains; near the city, Bailuzhou Academy, Qingyuan Mountain and ancient villages such as Meipi and Diaoyuan showcase Luling culture. In spring and summer the mountains are cool and filled with blooming azaleas, and autumn is also a good time to travel. Reach the city via Jinggangshan Airport or high-speed rail stations such as Ji'an West.
