Seven kilometers northwest of Ciping, Dajing features revolutionary historic sites including Mao Zedong’s Former Residence and the Site of the Red Army Medical Clinic.

In late October 1927, Mao Zedong led the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army to Jinggangshan and first arrived here. He guided Red Army soldiers to integrate with local masses, disseminate revolutionary truths, organize and arm villagers, assist agricultural labor and resolve daily hardships. A free Red Army medical clinic was set up to treat local residents, and work began to reform Wang Zuo’s local armed forces.

In February 1928, Wang Zuo led his troops to join the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army, reorganized as the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, greatly expanding revolutionary strength. The revolutionary relics at Dajing are designated Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level and open to visitors.

Beyond red revolutionary landmarks, Dajing boasts rare alpine pastoral scenery seldom seen among China’s famous mountains. Surrounding peaks shift appearance with viewing angles—some form rolling ridges, others sheer summits. Pine tops and bamboo groves interweave greenery amid ancient woodlands. Crystal-clear brooks teem with visible stream fish, and the area is home to delicious stone frogs and rare protected giant salamanders.

Local dwellings sit amid serene surroundings with primitive architectural styles that harmonize perfectly with the natural landscape. Rice terraces around villages climb steep slopes into misty cloud banks. Travelers escaping bustling cities encounter a living pastoral scroll and soothing mountain ballads, refreshing their senses and washing away all worries.
