General presentation
Jinggangshan
Forests, mountains and revolutionary sites form a high place of communist memory on the border of Hunan.
Jinggangshan Revolution Museum, Five Fingers Pic and Ciping Village give the most telling landmarks of Jinggangshan. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée de la révolution de Jinggangshan
The museum tells of the installation of the first communist rural base in the mountains. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit made helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Pic des Cinq Doigts
A five ridge silhouette dominates the subtropical forests of the region. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time margins remain useful outside the cities.
Village
Village de Ciping
The village serves as a base for memorials, lakes and trails of the massif. An early-in-the-day tour allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
