Introducing Oi

Dajing is located seven kilometers northwest of Ciping in Jinggangshan. It was the first place Mao Zedong arrived at when he led the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to Jinggangshan in late October 1927. He led the Red Army among the masses, disseminating revolutionary truths to them, organizing and arming them, helping them engage in productive labor, and resolving practical difficulties.

A Red Army medical clinic was also established here, providing free medical treatment to local people. Educational reform work began here for the local armed forces led by Wang Zuo. In February 1928, Wang Zuo led the local armed forces to join the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and was reorganized into the Second Battalion of the Second Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, thus strengthening the revolutionary ranks.

The revolutionary site of Dajing has been designated a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site and is open to the public. The local residents' homes are tranquil and their simple architectural style complements the surroundings beautifully. The rice paddies surrounding the village rise like a heavenly ladder into the misty depths.

Climate and best time to travel
