Red Army Long March Memorial
红军长征纪念碑碑园
A Long March monument on Yuanbao Hill north of Chuanzhusi Town, with a golden Red Army statue rising against the plateau sky; a landmark on the route between Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong.
The Red Army Long March Memorial Park stands on Yuanbao Hill in Chuanzhusi Town, Songpan County. Completed in 1990, the monument is about 24 m tall, topped with a golden statue of a Red Army soldier with both hands raised high. The park also has thematic relief sculptures and an exhibition hall commemorating the hardships the Red Army endured crossing the Songpan grasslands. The monument lies beside the Jiuzhaigou–Huanglong highway at an elevation of about 3,000 m, and many itineraries stop here for photos. Admission information is announced on site. Watch for altitude sickness, and take the steps slowly.
