Liupanshan Red Army Long March Memorial
六盘山红军长征纪念馆
The birthplace of Mao Zedong's poem “Qingpingle: Liupan Mountain.” With a memorial pavilion, monument, and museum at the summit of Liupan Mountain, it is a classic national red tourism site.
In October 1935, the Central Red Army crossed Liupan Mountain, the last major peak they crossed on the Long March. Mao Zedong then wrote the poem “Qingpingle: Liupan Mountain,” which includes the line “The sky is high and the clouds are pale; I gaze until the southbound geese vanish.” The memorial park sits near the main peak of Liupan Mountain and includes a memorial pavilion, a monument, a museum, and an observation deck overlooking the mountain ranges. A shuttle bus runs up to the park. The museum is usually free, though some facilities require reservations. It is closed on Mondays, but check the notice for current hours. The summit is at about 2,800 meters, so temperatures are noticeably lower. Bring a jacket.
