General presentation
Yan'an
Troglodytic habitats and revolutionary sites occupy the ravines of the Loess plateau.
To understand what Yan'an is, you must look at Yangjialing Revolutionary Site, Yan'an Pagoda and Zaoyuan Revolutionary Site. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Site révolutionnaire de Yangjialing
Buildings and caves served as the headquarters of the Communist Party in the 1930s and 1940s. Collections and remains took time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient beach helped to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Pagode de Yan'an
Tang pagoda dominates the city from a hill that has become its main symbol. The place remains culturally sensitive and is discovered with discretion, without hindering local practices; religious timetables, outfit and photographic rules are to be checked on the spot.
Place indismissible
Site révolutionnaire de Zaoyuan
Gardens, caves and offices served communist leaders at the end of their stay. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
