Going west from Jinggang Mountain is the Memorial Square where Ren Bishi, Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen led the Red Sixth Army on the Long March. Although it is small and not well-known, it is considered the earliest starting point of the Long March of the Red Army.

Yudu is the first ferry crossing of the Long March. This red land is the main gathering place of the Central Red Army and one of the starting points of the Long March. The sunrise is very beautiful and interesting. It is a red scenic spot with a very high cost-effectiveness.

It's a great place for hiking. We took the path up to the waterfall; there were a lot of steps, but the scenery was beautiful. The area wasn't crowded. If you have elderly people or children with you, I recommend taking the shuttle bus or driving up to see the mountaintop grassland. You can also take a walk at the top. The summit is truly breathtaking. The glass bridge costs an extra 60 yuan and is quite thrilling. Overall, it's a very pleasant hike when the weather is good; avoid going on sunny or rainy days.

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!

This village is not well-known, nor is it a tourist attraction. I just looked it up online and went to see it with the locals. It is the location of the first bridge of the Long March. The natural scenery is good and very quiet.

A rare national treasure! It's a pity that the local government, perhaps due to financial and logistical constraints, hasn't fully prioritized it. Hopefully, the local cultural and broadcasting bureau will organize proper restoration and protection, along with comprehensive facilities and services. This place will definitely become a major tourist destination!

I visited Songcheng during the day and took a boat trip on Qili at night, drawn by its reputation. There were also various activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The evening lights created a serene and tranquil atmosphere, not too crowded, except for the bustling activity area at Wenchang Pavilion. Other areas were perfect for strolling; the temperature wasn't too high, making for a pleasant walk. I watched a performance and released Kongming lanterns. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the iron flower display.
