[edit] Revolutionary History
In early 1928 Zhu De's troops, survivors of the Nanchang Uprising, Little Long March and Battle of Shantou, found refuge here with the local warlord. Chen Yi was with him; neither dared reveal his identity at the time. It was from here that a rested and bolstered communist column marched to the Jinggangshan Mountains in April to join the hold-outs from another uprising.
. The county town is at the border between Hunan and Guangdong. The national highway from Guangzhou to Beijing passes through the middle of the town. Very nice food there! A beautiful tourist park is Mangshan Mountain National Forest Park. The water is so clean and beautiful. It also produces extremely nice green tea.
