Environment

The city abounds with natural beauty. You can see the sublime Qinling-Daba mountain range as you climb Micang Mountain, see pandas at the Tangjiahe nature reserve, enjoy the karst landform and get away from the heat at Zengjia Mountain.

Empress Wu Zetian

Red tourism

The city is home to many Red Army sites, including the Cangxi Red Army Ferry and places where military conferences were held and war was waged. In addition, thousands of messages engraved in stone hark back to the long struggle of the Red Army.

Rural tourism
