Yangjialing Revolutionary Site
杨家岭革命旧址
The site of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with its Central Grand Hall and leaders’ cave dwellings well preserved.
Yangjialing lies about 3 kilometres northwest of Yan'an city centre. From 1938 to 1947, the central leadership organs of the CPC worked and lived here. The core building, the CPC Central Committee Grand Hall (Site of the Seventh National Congress), was built in 1942 and is one of the few large brick-and-stone buildings of the Yan'an period. The Seventh National Congress of the CPC was held here in 1945, and the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art was held here in 1942. Along the hillside are the former cave dwellings of Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and others, as well as the Central General Office building. Admission is free, but you need to enter the site with your ID card. It is about a 10-minute drive from the city centre, and can be combined with Wangjiaping and the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall. Crowds are heavy on public holidays, and the former cave dwellings are small, so please queue and visit in an orderly manner.
