Yunshishan (First Mountain of the Long March)
云石山
The central authorities' last base before the Long March. The ancient Yunshan Temple on the summit once served as the office of the provisional central government.
Yunshishan is a solitary small stone hill about 19 km west of Ruijin city, in Yunshishan Township. In July 1934, the Provisional Central Government and the Central Military Commission moved here from Shazhouba, and the ancient Yunshan Temple on the summit served as their offices. In October that year, the central authorities set off from here on the Long March, which is why the hill is known as the First Mountain of the Long March. The climb takes only a dozen minutes or so, and from the top you can look out over the fields. There is also an exhibit on the departure for the Long March. Entry is free. A car is recommended, and it can be combined with a visit to Shazhouba.
